there are many free programs to control scroll direction in windows take your pick it's not a special bootcamp issue

Thats exactly the problem, there is no trackpad according to windows even though it is working fine because its installed via the bootcamp drivers not as its own device, if there were one that the windows had a seprate driver for this would be an easy fix that is why im looking for the hardware manufacture. i can send you a screenshot of my device manager.... cause there is no windows software that will reverse it without having one attached...

Trackpad++ can help you (it defaults to inverted scroll). Also, it brings (almost) all the rest of OS X-like gestures and features to Boot Camp. See screen shot at http://www.trackpad.powerplan7.com/Screen_Shot_Trackpad_Plus_Plus_v30.png

Free and easy solution that does not require 3rd party addons (Trackpad++), by using the powershell command (search in windows 10 & right click, run in admin mode), and type the following exact command (caution on the spaces). After that, reboot 🙂:

Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HID\*\*\Device` Parameters FlipFlopWheel -EA 0 |

ForEach-Object { Set-ItemProperty $_.PSPath FlipFlopWheel 1 }

This command makes all mouse devices, trackpads connected to your mac, to have natural scrolling by default in windows 7,8,10 environment.

Found this trick here:

Did work for me using Win10 with MacOS Sierra on a Early-2011 MBP Pro. Thanks. Had to figure out proper device first. Tried deactivating listed mice in Device Manager to get the one causing trackpad stop working while disabled. After that I could start search registry for matching record containing FlipFlopWheel key to be switched from 0 to 1.
