Don't know abut you, but I can't seem to rest my paw on the touchpad while typing. Results: input jumps around to different places. If I'm typing heads down, I could have typed a lot, in open spaces or over the top of other text, before realizing I again was buggered by the touchpad being hot. Thus, at one time I permanently turned it off until I started to need it remotely and didn't want to drag Mickey Mouse along. That's when I reverted to using the F6 Hotkey to toggle the touchpad on/off. Still forget a lot! But, this time the F6 toggle was dead. Didn't toggle and didn't display the notification ICON. Turns out after hours of research that when I tried to fix this by disabling the touchpad in Device Manager I chose to migrate (?) the setting. This didn't work, and I spent more hours trying to locate a new Driver or refreshing the one I had. It did log Events for the Driver under the Touchpad device re Migration which activated my CommonScents to try to go all out and uninstall the driver and let the O/S at Restart find it and correct it. Sure thing, I was rewarded for my CommonScents with an again working Hotkey. So much for all the articles out on Internet that were unhelpful and led me to dig the rabbit hole deeper and deeper. Just using CommonScents I fixed the problem.
Agin: Uninstall the driver and let the Windows Restart process fix it.
