Providing updated answer since previous ones are two years old and a bit out-of-date.
As of September 2018 it is no longer possible to install drivers for TouchPad (or other Synaptics hardware) directly from Synaptics' website. You have to search the Internet for your manufacturer's OEM driver that is tailored exactly to your computer / hardware.
For example, for ThinkPads you have to either use Lenovo website (Synaptics ThinkPad UltraNav Driver 19.3.4.214 for Windows 10) or Softpedia (Lenovo ThinkPad T550 UltraNav Synaptics Driver 19.0.17.115 for Windows 10). Or simply google it (ThinkPad Synaptics Driver for Windows 10).
After driver update and Windows restart you must set Windows Registry entry as in OP's question.
There are rumors that even with updated driver and Windows Registry entry correctly made, this nasty nag screen still appears. In this case, blocking automatic drivers installation in Windows 10 may be the only way.

Have you tryed AutoHotkey? you can simply disable a Keycombination or remap it so you can e.g. make Ctrl+Win+T to that window while blocking the Alt+Shift+L combination

Disabling SynTPEnhService
service allowed me to stop seeing these prompts, while keeping touchpad's functionality. I made sure that the service also does not start automatically on startup.
Neither modifying the registry or updating drivers seemed to have worked for me.
