souleat9r

so my touchpad just freezed all of a sudden. mouse works just fine, it's just touchpad. it's not disabled through keyboard, already checked. i found someone say on microsoft help to download drivers for your laptop again (in my case acer), but for my model i only found drivers for windows 10 on official site. can i download them, will they still work, even though i had windows 11 for like 2 years?

i will be grateful for any help

Windows10 and 11 drivers are same. You can download and install windows 10 drivers on 11 easily. There's just UI difference

If your touchpad isn't working, it may be a result of a missing or out-of-date driver. Updating or reinstalling your touchpad drivers in Device Manager may help solve the problem. To open Device Manager, type device manager in the search box on the taskbar, then select Device Manager. And Yes, windows 10 drivers will work on Windows 11.

If your touchpad isn't working, it might be due to a missing or out-of-date driver. You can try these steps to update your touchpad drivers:

1. In the taskbar search box, type "device manager" and select it
2. Select a category to see the names of devices
3. Right-click (or press and hold) the device you want to update
4. Select "Search automatically for updated driver software"
5. Select "Update Driver

You can also try these steps:

• Enable the touchpad via Windows 11's settings
• Enable the Microsoft keyboard Filter Service
• Downgrade to Windows 10 and then upgrade to Windows 11 again

It is happening on my Acer Aspire since the day I bought it. All I can do is roll back to the last working download. I can never update the drivers in my Acer for the competition factors between Microsoft and Acer Aspire.
