How do I enable my touchpad in Windows 7?

To enable the touchpad in Windows 7: click Start, then go to Control Panel, then double click on “Mouse”. The touchpad settings are usually on their own tab, perhaps labeled as “Device Settings”, or such. Click that tab, then make sure that the touchpad is enabled.

How do I get my touchpad to work again?

Select Change mouse settings—there are other options that are very similar, so pick the one with that exact wording. In Windows 10, click the Windows key and go to Settings > Devices > Touchpad. This brings you to the Touchpad settings page where you can confirm the touchpad is enabled, as well as check other options.
