My touchpad is not working after upgrading to Windows 8 Professional. I have a Lenovo Ultrabook u300s, the
touchpad i believe is Cypress Trackpad. The mouse cursor simply doesnt move but I notice if I click the button it will response. I have installed the latest driver from manufacturer support website. The only way
i can get it work is to remove the driver, but the standard drivers by Windows doesn't have the palm detection. Notice also the key button (F6) to disable the touchpad doesnt work anymore

Hi
I just had this problem with my Packard bell windows 8 laptop, i tried different ways to sort it and nothing worked. i went onto my laptop settings and i had locked my touch pad without realizing and now it works fine, might be worth checking. hope this helps.
This was so simple to fix. Anyone who is having this problem, just look at your function buttons on your laptop. If yours is anything like mine, then you have to press fn before pressing f2. If so, then, look at the keys and there is one with a little image of a mouse/no-mouse. On mine, it is key f5. When pressed without the fn button it locks the mousepad. With that said, I inadvertently locked my mouse after trying to press f5 to refresh a webpage. Hit it just once, and the lock comes off.
That is a seriously pesky feature...
Hi there ,I'm currently facing the same prob on the same PC as yours. how exactly do get to the laptop settings, in order to unlock the touchpad
NdiléZA - look at the "F" at the top of your keyboard. One will look like a mouse, sometime F2 or F4 - on my Asus it is F8. Hold down your Function Key (bottomleft) and press the appropiate F key. Then mine touch pad worked
The reason I switched it off (by mistake) was because it is next to the adjustmet of brightness and sound
good luck

thank you very much. i also found out that i may have accidentally clicked the "Fn Lock" button which is beside the print screen button. This caused my touchpad, my f5, and my numpads to work strangely.
no thanks to microsoft's answers as usual.
