My cat walked across my keyboard and now the touchpad is turned off, cursor frozen. When the laptop turns on there is a temporary logo showing a touchpad with a forefinger on it and a red slash through it. 

 

I am am using Windows 10.

 

i tried removing the battery, I tried the function keys, I tried going into controls.
