Touchpad no longer working

[Sereen123]

There was a spider on my laptop. I killed the spider on the laptop over the keyboard. I then grabbed a wipe and cleaned the entire laptop‘s keyboard. Something popped up on the screen and the touchpad stopped working. I freaked out and restarted the laptop and touchpad still did not work. I updated my driver and it says it works fine. I went to devices, touchpad advanced setting, driver, and it says it’s enabled and works fine. I went to devices, mouse advanced setting, driver, and it says it’s enabled and works fine. But it still will not work. Luckily I have a spare mouse and was able to connect it to the laptop to use it but the touch pad still will not work.

Hello @Sereen123 

You probably hit the F11 key. I think its F11.

It will have this logo associated with it...

Either tap the key with that logo, or press the FN key and the F key.

Thank you so much... I don’t know why there is a button on my keyboard that locks the touchpad but that worked
