Touchpad Driver issue - Swift 3 SF315-52
Long post, I give all the info I have:
So I have the Swift 3 with i3-8130u, Optane accelerated HDD and 4GB of RAM. A guy installed Ubuntu without knowing what he's doing and completely butchered my already existing install (needed it for programming).
I installed Windows 10 back after that, touchpad worked in setup (important point for later) and in Windows.
I downloaded the drivers from Acer support, have the latest BIOS and so on and started installing them in order (chipset, VGA, sound, etc - you get the picture).
At some point my touchpad stopped working so I had to get my friend's wireless mouse to continue. Mouse works fine, touchpad - doesn't budge at all. The drivers from Acer's website turns out (I looked in the batch file, that's what it says) are just a few hundred kilobytes and point to an OEM folder on C:/ that I obviously no longer have. Synaptics doesn't offer a generic driver either, what do I do in this case? WHERE DO I GET A WORKING DRIVER AT ALL?!
I tried the driver from the website anyway and it installed - have no question marks in device manager. However, it's installed under the HID category and in Pointing Devices I just have two USB mice! (the wireless one and the touchpad apparently) The touchpad does NOT work whatever I do. Tried not installing anything and letting Windows Update handle everything - same story - have a Synaptics HID Device under HID devices, just a mouse in Pointing devices and touchpad is borked completely.
Tried formatting C:/ and reinstalling Windows - now it doesn't even work in Windows Setup, let alone after the installation... Please help, I am stumped here.
