This seems to be an issue a lot of people are having, but most solutions I've found are not working for me.
I have an
Acer Nitro 5 AN515 53 Intel CORE i5 8th Gen gaming laptop. A little old, but still mostly works fine. About a month ago, out of nowhere, the touchpad mouse stopped working. Restarting the computer worked the first few times, but every time the mouse cursor would vanish after about an hour or two. Now, restarting the computer does nothing to fix it. The computer still works with a USB mouse.
I've checked both the Settings menu and Device manager. Any touchpad settings have disappeared. All that is left are setting for the USB mouse.
I've tried the whole FN + F6 or F& thing, I've tried updating drivers (My computer says all drivers are up to date), and Google and YouTube tutorials have provided little help.
This has never happened to me before, it just appeared out of nowhere while I was taking a test on a website I've used for school time and time again with no problems. And as far as I know, I did not download any weird software prior to this or visit a website that would cause a problem.
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated.
Thank you.
