How do I enable my touchpad?

[help-me-please3]

I have been googling for 2 hours now and none of the help given is working. When I double click in the top left hand corner of my touchpad nothing happens. When I acsess mouse settings there is nothing about disabling the touchpad or anything. I desperately need my touchpad to work as I am in University and I need it for my school work therefore this current situation is very annoying and frustrating. Everyone whom have been given help seem to have been able to disbale/enable their mouse however nothing is happening for me. My laptop is a hp spectre x360 and I really do NOT want to have to take it beack or see any IT people about it so if someone is in the same situation as me please contact me and tell me how they fixed it. I have also restarted and shut down my laptop and nothing is happened and the touchpad still doesn't work. There is no way for me to fully restart my laptop as there is no button or anything to which I can use to COMPLETELY restart my laptop only when you click the power button and get the option of sleep, shut down, or restart.

Kind Regards.

As you mentioned you are using Surface Rt.

I would suggest you contact Mircosoft support and get assistance.
