  3. Conflicting trackpad and keyboard drivers

    So, all of a sudden my trackpad stops working. Eventually I deduce that it is a driver issue so I re install the drivers by deleting the device and restarting my computer. I come to find out that it solved the issue but now my keyboard isn't working! I proceeded
    to the keyboard drivers as well but wouldn't you know it, my trackpad does not work. Im currently navigating using the on-screen keyboard but is seems as if whenever I get the keyboard to work, the trackpad does not and vice versa. Someone please help!

    Keyboard and Trackpad Not Working

    Hi,

    To address your concern, we suggest that you restore your computer to an earlier point in time.
    Restoring won’t affect your personal files, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore point was made.

    Since you're unable to use the keyboard and trackpad to log in to Windows 10, access the recovery environment and run system restore. To do that, follow these steps:

    • Use the installation media to access the recovery environment. If you don't have one, go to this

      link
      .
    • Connect the recovery drive and turn on your PC.
    • On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot, and then select an option. If you don’t see the Choose your option screen, your PC might not be set up to boot from a drive. Check your PC manufacturer’s
      website for info on how to change your PC’s boot order.
    • Restore from a system restore point by selecting Advanced Options > System Restore. This will remove recently installed apps, drivers, and updates that might be causing your PC problems, but it won’t affect your personal
      files.

    Let us know how it goes after performing the steps.
