    Keyboard/touchpad stop working randomly


    This has happened a lot since my upgrade to Windows 10, and it's really starting to get on my nerves. Seemingly randomly, my keyboard will stop responding to what I type, and my touchpad completely stops as well (no, I did not accidentally click to disable it). These problems will never resolve themselves on their own, but as soon as I reset the computer everything works again - to me, that sounded like a driver crash, but nope! I checked the driver menu and it told me everything was running just fine. What's even more strange is that I have the backlight keyboard enabled so that when I type, it lights up. And strangely, the keys still light up when I press them, so I know it's registering my typing SOME how.

    You would also think that this would be a software problem since it fixes immediately upon reset, but I've noticed that this issue seems to crop up a lot right after I have moved my computer... I'm lost and I've scoured the internet for clues, but no one else seems to have this problem. Please help!

    In order to possibly do testing on what is causing this (via suggestions hopefully, I've tried everything I can think of) I am purposely not resetting my computer (thankfully this is a touch screen, but this on-screen keyboard typing is obnoxious). Currently, both keyboard and touchpad don't work, but a usb mouse I use does (the computer is also set so that using the usb mouse does not disable the touchpad).

    Touchpad randomly stop working

    I have many options but there is nothing related to turning off the touchpad I do have an option to turn in on and off with Fn+F3 but I never use that,it just randomly(it may work for days without any problems),the touchpad will just not react when I try to move the mouse and it starts to work if I keep doing that for few seconds The sensitiving is set to almost all the way to "light touch" and when it does work,it really just needs a light touch to react

    Synaptics touchpad stops randomly to work

    So, ive been having this problem recently. Today my Synaptics touchpad randomly stops working, this morning for example it was working perfectly fine but it randomly stopped to work. Sometimes it starts working again after a day or two (rebooting wont
    fix this problem). Ive been trying using the troubleshooter, updating the drivers, reinstalling them but its still not working. My laptop is an HP envy dv6 notebook (5 years old). Thanks in advance for any help.
