Touchpad missing in device manager

ASUS E403S

Windows 8 version 6.3 Build 9600

Touchpad not working and missing from device manager even when showing hidden files

No HID compliant device apart from the mouse

Was running on Win 8.1 when this happened

Net controller was also missing but I managed to install it

Tried to install SmartGesture_Win81_64_VER3014 to no avail

Most updates do not happen as the system gets stuck on checking for the updates

Would appreciate any specific help as I have gone through many suggestions with no success.

My touchpad is missing from the Device Manager and is no longer working

Hi,

I have a brand new Lenovo LAPTOP-A11TUN29 with Windows 10 Pro. I was searching for information on reversing the direction of the touchpad scrolling. I came across information on a thread here about updating drivers. After doing so and restarting my computer,
the touchpad stopped working completely. When I tried to go back and update the drivers again, the touchpad was completely missing from the Device Manager (before doing so I attached a wireless mouse and am currently using that. That device is listed as the
only device under 'mice and other pointing devices'.)

What can I do to have the touchpad listed under device manager again so that it will work?

Thanks for any helpful advice.

  Device Manager.
• Click on View and select
  Show Hidden Devices.
• Check for the webcam under Imaging Devices.
• If the webcam is listed, then right-click on it and select
  Update Driver Software
