Windows 10: Accidentally disabled my pointing devicesAnswered

So, basically I was tinkering around with drivers and i disabled my Synaptics pointing device driver, I have done this before but I fixed it by using my mouse which I had already plugged in. This time I did it again but when I right clicked, nothing happened. I restarted but from that point forward, my computer didn't recognize my mouse anymore. So I'm trying to find a way to re-enable it without ANY mice or touchpad. And no, updating windows won't work as I can't do that. Also I can use my touchpad in the sign-in menu but nowhere else for some reason. Also my device is a Lenovo IdeaPad

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
