Hi everyone! I'm having a problem with my Dell G7 laptop – the touchpad has stopped working, and I can't reset it. I've tried using Ctrl + Alt + Delete, but there's no option to reset on that screen. Since I can't use a mouse either, I'm really stuck. Any suggestions?

Hey! You can actually restart your laptop from the Ctrl + Alt + Delete screen by clicking on the power icon at the bottom right. If that’s not working for you, try using the Windows key plus Tab, and then use the arrow keys to navigate to the Restart option in the Start menu. You can also search for 'touchpad' in the start menu to check if it’s disabled in the settings. It might be worth launching Device Manager to look for touchpad issues too. And honestly, a temporary mouse could really save you right now.
I’ve tried that, but the arrow keys only let me cycle through lock, switch user, sign out, and task manager. It gets tricky!
