Windows 10: Touch pad Not working after Update-

My touch pad stopped working after the last Windows 10 Update. I have a Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro.

• I tried updating/installing drivers.
• The mouse/touchpad doesn't show up under Device Manager, even when set to "Show hidden devices."
• I ran antivirus (malwarebytes and AVG) and checked my registry (CC Cleaner).
• The fn+delete shortcut for turning off/on the touch pad doesn't do anything.
• I get the "Unable to connect to the Synaptics Pointing Device Driver" message when I open Mouse Properties.
• I reinstalled Windows but it automatically installed updates which I assume includes the one that caused the problem to begin with.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

issues with touch pad gestures with a touchscreen laptop

Thanks for the response.

I have tried the steps you suggested. It showed no issues, except to restart my PC. At the point when I performed these steps, I didn't have the issue that I reported - namely, not being able to use touch-pad gestures. Maybe I should try this when the touch-pad
gestures stop working.
