Issue:​ Trackpad becomes completely unresponsive after the laptop resumes from sleep. The issue persists regardless of the Fn+F8 toggle state (enable/disable icon appears normal). A full system restart (2-3 times) is required to restore functionality.

Context:​ This occurs frequently while using an external mouse (both Bluetooth and USB). The problem makes the laptop unusable without an external mouse.

    Thank you for sharing the screenshot.

    Yes, based on the screenshot (I2C HID Device – “This device cannot start (Code 10)”), this is directly related to the touchpad not working. In most cases, it can be fixed by reinstalling or updating the correct driver.

    Right-click on the I2C HID Device > Uninstall device > Restart the computer. Windows should reinstall the driver automatically after a restart.

    Hi ,

    I'm Dyari. Thanks for reaching out. I will be happy to assist you in this regard.

    Kindly right-click Start > Device Manager > Expand Human Interface Devices > Open I2C HID Device and also Touchpad device if listed > Double click on it and go to Power Management > Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" > Repeat for any device related to touchpad/mouse >Restart once and test.

    It is also recommended to download and install the latest drivers for your computer only from the manufacturer's support page.

    Please let me know if you need further assistance.
