Kaikho, Here is something you can try from forum below. Go to the Acer driver page for your computer. Download the Intel IO chip set drivers for Windows 8.1. Run the setup for the driver in 'compatibility mode' and install.
I have an Acer Aspire ES1-512 laptop. After the update the touch pad stopped working. The laptop has an ELAN touch pad. I tried activating and deactivating the touch pad on/off switch on the keyboard. Also tried to uninstall and reinstall the touch pad driver. But the touch pad is not listed in Device manager. So couldn't do that. Method 6: Checking the BIOS Settings Shutdown your PC and reboot into the BIOS. This is device-specific and is usually displayed when the POST screen comes. Check the hardware device settings and enable the touchpad if it’s disabled. Exit the BIOS and reboot your PC and then move your fingers on.
If you are formatting or reinstalling the Windows 10 operating system on your Acer Aspire laptop and you have noticed that the TouchPad does not work for any reason, do not worry you did not make any mistakes during the installation, since this problem lies in the configuration of the Bios of your Acer Aspire. That’s right.
