Windows 10: Windows 10 - Windows Key, Touchpad Gestures and Hotkeys are not working

I don't know whether a update broke this or it was caused by some software I downloaded but touchpad gestures, Windows Key and Hotkeys are not working on my Laptop anymore. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Touchpad gestures NOT working

Hi Abuzar,

Your touchpad drivers might be outdated or corrupted. I would suggest that you update the touchpad driver. Follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key and X together and select
  Device Manager.
• Locate the touchpad driver.
• Right-click on the touchpad driver icon and click Update Driver software.
• Click on Search automatically for Updated driver software option.

If the driver for Windows 10 is not available, download and reinstall the latest touchpad drivers from the manufacturer website.

Keep us updated.
