I've been having an issue where my touchpad stops working every 2-3 weeks. Sometimes, using the fn + 10 key resolves it, but other times it doesn't work at all. I've tried reinstalling the touchpad driver, but sometimes that doesn't help either. Is there a reason my touchpad fails so frequently? Is there a permanent fix, or will I need to keep troubleshooting it? Should I contact a technician? Just for reference, I have a Lenovo LOQ running Windows 11, and I bought it about 5 months ago.

It sounds frustrating dealing with the touchpad issue! First, check if your touchpad has an external driver you might need to update. Sometimes, these drivers can conflict and cause problems. You can usually find this in the Device Manager under 'Mice and other pointing devices'. If you see a specific driver for the touchpad listed, try updating that and see if it helps.
I didn't catch that. How do I tell if there's an external driver for my touchpad?
