My Dell laptop’s touchpad is partially working. The cursor moves properly across the entire touchpad, but the touch/tap function is not working on the left side. The right/bottom side works normally. The touchpad was working perfectly fine last night, but this issue started today. I have already checked the touchpad settings and restarted the laptop, but the problem still persists
The best option is to go to the support page for your laptop on the Dell website to download and install (not update) the version of chipset drivers and Touchpad drivers they provide for your laptop model.
If that does not resolve the problem, open the Settings app, go to Windows Updates - Installed Updates, if there was an update installed last night, that may have caused the problem the best option may be to uninstall that update to test if that resolves the problems with the touchpad.
