TOUCHPAD AND WINDOWS 10

[121473]

I used to be able to use my touchpad and the arrow keys to move the mouse to scroll. Now with Windows 10 my touchpad is erratic and the arrow keys don't take the command. My left and right click on the touchpad barely responds to my commands as well. The curser moves all on its own all over. I have the latest updates and driver installed. I appreciate any help.
