Trackpad not working - HP Pavilion 14t

[infj1013]

I have a 9-month old HP Pavilion 14t with no touchscreen. Recently, my trackpad will simply stop moving. I can do any sort of movement with my fingers on the trackpad, but the mouse on the screen will not move or click. As I have neither a touchscreen nor an external mouse, I would like to figure out why the mouse stops working. It stops moving out of the blue, and I have to just wait until it decides it wants to work again - usually, anywhere from twenty seconds to five minutes. I updated this computer to Windows 10 about two weeks after getting it, but I doubt that that is the problem, as this mouse issue has only been happening sporadically for the last couple of months.

Never mind...I figured out that it was putting Sims back on my computer that was causing this issue. Ugh. I love that game, but it's so mean to computers.
