To enable the touchscreen on your Acer Aspire 3 15, follow these steps:

• Open Device Manager by pressing the Windows Key + X and selecting Device Manager.
• Expand the "Human Interface Devices" section.
• Find "HID-Compliant Touch Screen," right-click on it, and select "Enable" if it’s currently disabled.
• Right-click on "HID-Compliant Touch Screen" again, select "Update driver," and choose "Search automatically for updated driver software."
• If "HID - Compliant Touchscreen" is not visible, Click on "Action" in the Device Manager, and select "Scan for hardware changes"

Hi habloemker,

Try fn + f6 or f6 alone  or  fn + f7 or f7 alone on keyboard to disable and enable the touchpad. 

Please look at the key f6 and f7 key on keyboard .    You can see the hand symbol with fingers .   That denotes the touchpad function key.   On some models it will be on f6 and some models it will be on f7.    So we need to use the right key depending upon the laptop model .   If fn + f7 is not working then we have to use f7 alone to make it to work.     

On some old laptop models there will be a separate button right  next to touch pad area which is below the space bar.  It is used to turn on and off the touch pad.  On some old models it will be right next to power button.  On all new models, f7 key is used to enable and disable the touch pad. 

If you would like to disable and enable the touchpad, please press and hold  fn key on the keyboard and then press f6 or f7 once.  If the touchpad is not getting disabled you can either press f6 alone or f7 alone without holding the fn key. It is used to enable or disable the touchpad..    

After disabling and enabling the touchpad check how it is working.. 

If it is still not working 
Go to support.acer.com 
chose your country 
type snid or chose your model 
go to drivers - Install the i/o drivers first and then install the touch pad driver

@Axxo User is asking about touchscreen, not touchpad.

@habloemker Are you sure all drivers are loaded properly? Check the device manager to ensure all hardware shows up properly with none missing drivers.
