Aspire E5-573-59DP Question about the touchpad.

So, i have this thing with my touchpad, that most touchpads have enabled by default. You can't use the touchpad while using the keyboard. But on most devices this can be disabled. But on this laptop i have, there is no setting what so ever, and i tried to download and install both drivers(not at the same time) but still i got nothing. And it is annoying me since i use it for some low end gaming and i would like to use the touchpad when im on the go.

I tried looking in the registry for Synaptics or ELAN, but came up empty. And in device manager it doesnt say anything about what touchpad or what manufacturer it is.

Any help?

I figured it out. Aparently, this laptop doesnt have a Synaptics or ELAN, i think it was made by microsoft since the settings was in the microsoft setttings App. Devices->Touchpad And there i found a setting to disable it. Sensitivity of touchpad set it to Most sensitive.

Hi,

Go to Device manager, expand Mice and other pointing devices, expand Human Interface devices, if you compare that with my snip and if it looks same, you will be able to find the make of your Touchpad.

Here is how to install the driver:

Go to BIOS settings, switch to Basic mode from Advanced in Main tab for Touchpad, download the driver needed(Synaptics or Elan) from Acer support site, install the driver, go back to BIOS settings and switch back to Advanced mode.
