Windows 10: Problem with mouse pad

I am having problems with my mouse pad. I can not hold it down to highlight text anymore, i also can not drag things with my mouse pad, or even single clock with my touchpad. I have no idea how to fix this and it is very frustrating.

I tried what was suggested but it kept going back to the same problem. I realized when I rolled back the driver it was disabling the elan mouse pad and going back to the ps/2 mouse pad . So I uninstalled the elan mouse pad and the problem was solved.
