Win8 & Win10: Why does my touch pad switch back to default on it's own? I have my settings set to left hand.

I have a Toshiba P55t-A5118 Laptop which is 1 yr old. I had Win8 and upgraded to Win10 yesterday. With both systems, I am finding that my mouse/touchpad settings reverting back to right hand without my control. It will also give a Synaptics Pointing Device Error. It seems to be tied to locations as well as I was in San Diego at Christmas and again last week. Both times it reverted while in this San Diego home then reverted back to my settings when I returned home automatically. Since upgrading to Win10 however, it happens all the time, especially when I am editing photos in Windows Live Photo Gallery. This is crippling my work and my business. I read in the past it was a Toshiba issue?

Also since installing Win10 any online photo shows up as a broken link. I can't upload a photo of it but it shows a blue sky with a cloud, green hill with a broken line going through it. Any fixes for this as well?

Any feedback or solution is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
