Windows 10: Hello, im having some problems with my touch pad drivers, as they are gone and no where to...

Hello, I’m having some problems with my Lenovo Thinkbook 14s Yoga ITL. I use it for work and when I download an app, the battery life seems to decrease as it shows in settings. So I decided to use what I thought a safe driver updater called, driver booster. It showed I had 24 or 29 drivers that needed to be “updated”. So, I clicked install and waited a bit, I restarted my laptop and for some reason the track pad won’t seem to work. I went on many websites scavenging to find the answer to why it wasn’t working, looked through the settings app, and even went on the Microsoft website to see if so

Touch pad not working. I have tried everything.

Hello.


I have a semi new Lenovo laptop ThinkPad T450s with a new hard drive. After installing Windows 10 the touch pad doesn't work. It did however work before. I have spent all day trying to read up on how I may solve this to no avail. Therefore I am writing my own help request. Here is a list of things I have tried;


Not Fn + F5
tried updating drives
not in device manager
not in control panel - mouse properties doesn't give me touch pad option (picture 2) nor is it anywhere in the control panel under deivices to be found
Activated in BIOS
I tried taking some steps I read online in the Registration Entries but files seemed to be missing (perhaps here is the problem) but only ended up making my USB mouse to stop working so that didn't do the trick.
Synaptic pointing device is under View and show hidden devices.
Not sure what to do about the yellow exclamation mark but it says error "This device is not present, is not working properly or does not have all its drivers installed. (Code 24)"
First picture.








Please help. Its driving me crazy. Thank you!
