touchpad driver update

Hi Chandrahasan,

Incompatible device drivers are known to operate against the method that Windows 10 follows. We suggest that you run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter to scan your computer, identify the problem, and attempt to fix the issue automatically. To run the
troubleshooter, follow these steps:

• Right-click on the Start icon and select Control Panel.
• Type troubleshooting in the search bar and click on
  Troubleshooting.
• Click on Hardware and Sound > Hardware and Devices.
• Follow the steps from the wizard to run the troubleshooter.
  

If the issue persists, uninstall the touchpad driver, then follow these steps to check if the issue is driver related:

• Right-click on the name of your PC at the top of the list of devices in
  Device Manager.
• Select Scan for hardware changes to reinstall the device driver, or download and install the latest version from the manufacturer’s website.

Let us know how it turns out.

 

Synaptics Touchpad Driver Broken

Hi Ellisandra,

If your touchpad isn’t working, it may be a result of a missing or out-of-date driver. We suggest that you install the generic driver that comes with Windows.

• Open Device manager, right-click(or tap and hold) your touchpad driver.
• Click the Driver tab, select Update driver software.
• Click Browse my computer for driver software, select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
• Select HID compliant mouse, click Next, and follow the instructions to install it.

If changing your driver doesn't help, there may be a problem with the touchpad itself. Contact your PC's manufacturer for help.

Let us know the result.
