When a laptop touchpad stops working, using the device becomes uncomfortable. This problem often happens after system updates or because of simple settings issues.
Restarting the laptop can quickly restore touchpad functionality. Sometimes the touchpad gets disabled accidentally, so checking system settings helps fix the issue.
Updating touchpad drivers improves compatibility and performance. Connecting an external mouse temporarily can also help while troubleshooting.
In most cases, touchpad problems are easy to solve and don’t require repairs.
