Touch pad is not working while downloading windows 10.

Hi Martynstoner,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.



I appreciate your interest on windows 10.


I understand the inconvenience you faced.It’s unfortunate that touch

pad becomes inactive frequently and the pointer doesn’t respond. We will

definitely help you with this issue. Just a few question first to understand the

issue better;

1. What is the make and model of the computer?
2. Does the touch pad freeze randomly or during a particular

process?
I would suggest you to try these steps to see if it resolves the

issue:

Method 1: Run "Hardware and devices "Troubleshooter.
Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with

hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if

the issue is with your touch pad. Refer these steps:

a) Press Windows key +X, select Control panel
b) Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons
c) Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the

left panel
d) Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter

Method 2: Try to Update drivers.
I would also suggest you to check for updated drivers for your touch pad

in the manufacturer’s website.

Method 3: Try to install drivers in Compatibility mode.
If updating the driver didn’t help, then I would suggest you download the

touch pad driver and install it incompatibility mode and check if it

works. Refer to these steps:

a) Right click the driver installation file and select Properties then

tap or click the Compatibility tab.
b) Place a check in the Run this program in compatibility mode.
c) Tap or click the drop down box and select operating system, then tap

or click OK.
d) Try installing the driver and check.


Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and

we would be happy to help.

Thanks.
