Spectre x360 touchpad intermittently stops working normally

[davique]

The touchpad just goes in and out. The 2 finger scrolling stops working, or just becomes erratic, tap to click stop working, I have to tap really hard or actually click, I end up just using the touch screen instead. Rebooting fixes the problem, but usually for about 5 minutes then it comes back.

Also, ensure Windows is up to date.
