You can find touchpad’s drivers on the manufacturer’s official website. Usually, Windows will try and reinstall the touchpad drivers automatically and succeed when you reboot the computer after uninstalling drivers but in the rare event it fails, you should know how to install manually. Use the last one only if you know how to reinstall the device or reinstall the drivers. Under the Drivers tab, you can perform other troubleshooting steps like Roll Back Driver to a previous version if you feel the new version is buggy, Update Driver which we saw above, and Uninstall Device. Right-click on it and select Update Driver. In my case, it is ELAN l2C Filter Driver.
You will find the driver associated with your touchpad under Mice and other pointing devices. Search for and open the Device Manager from Windows Search ( Windows key+S). All drivers can be managed from the Device Manager. The touchpad is also a physical hardware device and needs drivers to communicate and transfer input data to the motherboard.
Drivers are software component that allows your computer’s hardware connect and communicate with external hardware devices like graphics card, mouse, and keyboard.
