Windows 10: Touch pad not working completely all of a suddon

All of a sudden my touchpad on my Dell laptop stopped working. I can still use the mouse to move the pointer around but gestures like a scroll or the 4 finger volume gestures do not work. I have had this problem before but took me many hours to fix and still didn't know what I did to fix it. I have tried the whole driver update or reinstall mumbo jumbo but nothing seems to work and even though I can still use the pointer it's slower, less precise and even the sensitivity is lower.

Touch pad not working. I have tried everything.

Hello.


I have a semi new Lenovo laptop ThinkPad T450s with a new hard drive. After installing Windows 10 the touch pad doesn't work. It did however work before. I have spent all day trying to read up on how I may solve this to no avail. Therefore I am writing my own help request. Here is a list of things I have tried;


Not Fn + F5
tried updating drives
not in device manager
not in control panel - mouse properties doesn't give me touch pad option (picture 2) nor is it anywhere in the control panel under deivices to be found
Activated in BIOS
I tried taking some steps I read online in the Registration Entries but files seemed to be missing (perhaps here is the problem) but only ended up making my USB mouse to stop working so that didn't do the trick.
Synaptic pointing device is under View and show hidden devices.
Not sure what to do about the yellow exclamation mark but it says error "This device is not present, is not working properly or does not have all its drivers installed. (Code 24)"
First picture.








Please help. Its driving me crazy. Thank you!

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.
