Windows 10: Shortcut to enable touch pad

I have a long standing issue with my touchpad just randomly disabling. This forum has helped loads in trying to fix this but we can't get to the bottom of it. Even had someone open up the laptop to check the hardware but still the same.

What I have resorted to is having a shortcut to the Elan Mouse Properties on my desktop and when the mouse disables I have to try and navigate to this via the keyboard.... Go to mouse settings.. Elan.. And select enable mouse.

Can anyone think of an easier way to do this? Have a shortcut that goes straight to the enable mouse part or write me a batch file (I wouldn't know where to start).

Thanks in advance Bart
