Windows 10: Laptop mousepad doesnt work

While at work I have a wireless mouse, however I have noticed once in a while if I bring my laptop home to do work sans said mouse the touchpad isnt working which makes doing anything nearly impossible. What is a fix for this? I have a Dell Latitude 7390. Whats more annoying it doesnt happen all the time.

Mousepad doesnt work.

I have a Acer One 10. The mousepad doesnt work. I’ve recently updated to windows 10. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it.

-I have dropped it recently but it doesnt look broken or cracked

mousepad not working

Since installing windows 10 my mousepad has stopped working ive tried updating the drivers and my laptop tells me the mousepad is active does anyone else have this problem or any ideas on how to fix it its a bit awkward using a laptop when you have to
plug in a mouse

 

mousepad not working after windows 10 install

mousepad worked perfectly in windows 8.1. device manager doesnt recognise the mousepad is there. i have reinstalled the driver, no idea what version. ive tried the mousepad switch (fn and f7) and that made no difference. it doesnt work even in the bois, i have to use an external mouse. the upgrade was supposed to be a clean install. had to do it online as the boot from USB stick seems to be security locked and i cant unlock it. model is an acer aspire es1-512-c50s. as for boot in safe mode, i havent found that option in the bios.

EDIT: every single guide and how to on this issue ive seen online says to switch the mouse setting in the bios to basic, which is what i had done. ive been back in and switched it to advanced, which is default in the bios on this machine, and it works again. thanks for the help.

EDIT 2: after a restart its stopped working again. HELP!!!
