1. Check Touchpad Settings:

• Go to Settings > Devices > Touchpad.
• Make sure the touchpad is toggled to the "on" position.
• Also, check for any sensitivity or gesture settings that might be causing issues. 

2. Update Touchpad Drivers:

• Using Device Manager:
  • Right-click the Start button and select Device Manager. 
  • Expand Mice and other pointing devices. 
  • Right-click on your touchpad device (it might be listed as "Synaptics", "ELAN", or "HID-compliant mouse"). 
  • Select Update driver. 
  • Choose Search automatically for drivers. 

3. Reinstall Touchpad Drivers:

• If updating doesn't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers. 
• In Device Manager, right-click your touchpad device and select Uninstall device. 
• Restart your computer. Windows will automatically try to reinstall the driver.
