So restart your Windows 10 PC once, and then check if the touchpad is working.Īnd if you’re wondering how to restart a notebook with dead touchpad, simultaneously press Windows logo and X keys to open the power user menu, press U key on the keyboard, and then press R key to perform a restart.Īfter the laptop restart, you can touch the touchpad to see if the cursor can move and two buttons can work properly. This might sound stupid but many of the Windows issues simply vanish after a reboot. And your HP, ASUS, Acer, Dell or any other brand touchpad driver may become incompatible with the new Windows 10 CU (V1703) build after the upgrade.
