    Trackpad not working after installing drivers for said trackpad


    This is from my reddit post about this issue i made a few hours ago: '


    Issue 1: Touchpad not working

    Issue 2: TrackPoint not working

    Probable cause: Windows Insiders Preview build 18204

    What I have tried:

    >Reinstalling drivers

    >Resetting the preview build

    >Reverting to the latest public release of Windows

    >Installing new drivers on the public version of Windows

    More Info:

    Windows settings does recognize the touchpad as a device, and the drivers and devices in Device Manager say it is working correctly (See attached). Touchpad is enabled in the BIOS. Enabling touchpoint is greyed out, which makes no sense, seeing as I have all the required drivers.(See attached)

    TrackPoint greyed out: https://imgur.com/a/XE6moch


    Any help is appreciated

    Edit: Spelling

    Edit2:

    Without much to go by, and OneKey not working, im going to try installing a more stable windows insider release

    Edit3:
    Updating to an insider build did nothing. Touchpad still unresponsive. Im starting to think it is a hardware issue.




    After checking my Thinkpad's hardware, the cable and touchpad are in perfect condition, which leads me back to suspecting it is a software issue. Windows does recognize the presence of the touchpad, and i can change settings for it, but i do not know if something is overriding the touchpad or whatnot. In the BIOS the touchpad is enabled.

    Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks for taking the time to read this!

  2. laptop trackpad not working after windows 10 upgrade

    the Toshiba website has no windows 10 listing of drivers for my model p50w-b00f (yet).

    The trackpad on/off button does nothing.

    note: the trackpad does work while booting. the little circle on black screen.

    trackpad not working

    No. Because the troubleshooting guide on device manager wont even resolve my solution as it is also a basic and one of the primary steps to do but no avail. Tried installing powerplan7 and trackpad++ suggested by relentless on apple forums but with
    no success for me. Until now i can't use windows 10 installed on my macbook pro 15inch late 2008 because of the trackpad/touchpad failure.
