Windows 10: Touchpad has stopped working and is not showing up in input devices section.

My laptop's Zebronics NBC 2S - Pro series Y touchpad has stopped working. I checked if the trackpad was enable and it was but for some reason it wasn't taking inputs. It also doesn't show up as an input device in the devices section in settings.

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

 

Touchpad mouse has stopped working

The Touchpad mouse on my HP Envy m6 Sleekbook has suddenly stopped working. I am not aware of any specific action I took which led to this happening.

If I go to device manager, the touchpad driver does not show up. If I check "Show hidden devices", it then does show up (Synaptics SMBus ClickPad), but with a small yellow "alert" triangle over the icon. If I open the device properties, the device status is listed as "This device is not present, is not working properly, or does not have all its drivers installed. (Code 24)".

Things I have tried:
-Installing the latest version of the driver from here
-Uninstalling the device from device manager, and restarting my computer
-doing a System Restore to a recent date when the TouchPad was working.

My Windows version is 20H2 (OS Build 19042.867)
