Windows 10 Lost Touch Pad Driver in Device Manager.

I uninstalled the drive ( via device manager) for the extra Ps/2 mouse driver listed> restarted and the Touch pad is now listed. Then tried to update. No results.

Went to settings> advanced touch pad settings> the soft wear shown is for a mouse not a touch pad. Tried to update HP software for my computer> identified and checked> claimed software is up to date. May try to see if it work as incompatible software. I
checked to see if software is on synopsis website. Software is shown for a touch pad but which one?
