First, check the touchpad settings in 'Settings' > 'Devices' > 'Touchpad'. If it's enabled and still not working, update or reinstall the touchpad driver via 'Device Manager'.
Visit the Acer support website, download the latest BIOS update for your model, and follow the provided instructions. Ensure your laptop is plugged in during the update process.
