Touchpad not working on Acer Aspire E 15 Windows 10

Try pressing function + F7 to enable touchpad.

You may have disabled by accident.

Hi Podsae,

Let’s try the troubleshooter first. Start - type Troubleshoot and launch it. Select hardware and devices and see if it finds a problem with the touchpad.

If no luck, go down to your sys tray in the bottom right, and look for a trackpad icon, if there is an X over it, right click and see if it’s disabled. It’s possible by adding a mouse it disabled itself.

Also, look at your function keys, see if there is one that looks like a trackpad, hit fn and that key and see if it toggles it on.

Lastly, let’s go into device manager, right click on the start button and click device manager. Expand Mice and other pointing devices and see if the touchpad is disabled.

Let me know!

I am wondering if it is as simple as being disabled.

Try this.

Hold the function key on your laptop and hit either F6 or F7.

Look to see what picture is on the the F6 or F7 key.

if that does not work then try going to Acers site and getting the drivers for you touchpad for that model and update your machine.

let me know how you make out.

If you recently upgraded to a new version of Windows 10, there might be a compatibility issue.

As future Windows 10 feature updates are released it will introduce incompatibility with older devices and PC's. Certain components will not support these changes as observed by some users not seeing transparency anymore. Recommendations include, rollback, block the upgrade or consider upgrading components in your system such as graphics, storage, BIOS, motherboard or purchase a new Windows 10 PC.

There seems to be some early adopter issues at this time with Windows 10 1803, if you can, I recommend you downgrade to your previous version until the Spring Creators Update matures with future cumulative updates.

Open Start > Settings > Update & security > Recovery > under Go back to my previous version of Windows 10, click Get started.
