Causes of Windows 10 Touchpad Problems
Issues relating to the touchpad on Windows 10 tablets, laptops, and computers can be caused by conflicting software and drivers or an out-of-date version of the Windows 10 operating system. Faulty hardware can also be a common cause of touchpad problems, as can the changing of essential settings.
How to Fix Windows 10 Touchpad Issues
Touchpad issues can either come from the hardware or the drivers powering it in Windows. Once you track down which it is, solving the problem is straightforward. These steps can help you narrow the cause and get your touchpad working. If the touchpad is part of the keyboard, such as with the Type Cover on the Surface Pro and Surface Book, ensure that the keyboard is completely connected to the tablet with no foreign objects obstructing the connecting prongs. If the touchpad and keyboard are built into your system, skip to Step 5. If the subsequent steps don’t solve your problem, you may have a hardware issue and need to take your system to a computer repair shop.
