Aspire A515-56G, Windows 11 64 bit, touchpad driver option is missing on the Aspire website?

Hi! So previously I had an issue with my touchpad, as in it would stop working alltogether forcing me to use an externally attached mouse. Enabling/disabling the touchpad with F7 didn't work either, and it would frequently dissappear from the device manager menu, and even IF it did occasionally appear using the touchpad was frustrating and felt buggy.

Luckily, updating the touchpad driver via the Acer website fixed this issue. However with the windows 11 update, there is no longer a touchpad driver under the corresponding driver menu on the Acer website. The earlier driver update for windows 10 which worked before no longer does the trick either. Does someone happen to have a solution?

If you have the Elantech touchpad, there is a BIOS 1.26 update available for this laptop. https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/8628?b=1
