Touchpad not working, error code 10 in device manager

Hello,

We realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Touchpad not working in Windows 10. We will certainly help you.

A Code 10 error is generated in Device Manager in one of the following situations:

• Device Manager can't start the device.
• One of the drivers that the device needs does not start.
• Device Manager has insufficient information to recognize the error that is bubbled up by the device driver.
  

Note: In this situation, the Code 10 error can be a very generic message that indicates some kind of unspecified driver or device problem.

The issue could also arise due to outdated drivers that might not be compatible with Windows 10. So, I would suggest you to keep checking your Windows updates not only important one but optional too. If any available try to install them
and see if it helps you to fix the issue.

First, try to install all of the Windows updates available and if issue persists, try to update the Touchpad drivers by following the steps provided in the article mentioned below.

Touchpad not working, error code 10 in device manager

Original title: Touchpad

My touchpad does not work on my Inspiron 15 5000 Series. It used to work for a few days then it would not work for a few days. I reset windows to try to fix this but it did not. The touchpad is completely unresponsive and does not show up under the devices.
On the device manager list though, it says that the 12c HID Device cannot start (code 10) and that it has returned an invalid HID descriptor. How do I fix this? Should I just call Microsoft or return it or what?

 

I want to disable touchpad on Dell laptop


Hello everyone,
My laptop's touchpad works and I don't want it to, because I prefer a mouse. It's a Dell Inspiron 11 3000 series on windows 10 OS.

What I have tried that hasn't worked:

• start<settings<devices<mouse & touchpad<additional mouse options. This opens a window called Mouse Options which has 5 tabs up top, none of which involve the touchpad. The Hardware tab shows 2 devices: the mouse itself, and the USB. No touchpad there.
• windows key+x<mobility center. No touchpad to be found.
• various function keys. No options for touchpad on/off.
• device manager<mice and other pointing devices. Again, only the mouse and usb show up. It appears the touchpad is working without a driver, which is a little spooky.

Any other suggestions? I could try downloading a third party driver, but that seems like a step in the wrong direction.
Thanks
