Touchpad in Lenovo ThinkPad behaves slows and doesn't respond quick as it use to !!!

Did you update both Bios & All drivers from that laptop makers support site and not win update?

In win Update settings turn off auto update of Optional updates, which includes drivers

Hello OfficialHarman, welcome to the Microsoft community, I'll be happy to help you today;

I understand that the Touchpad of your Lenovo ThinkPad is slow;

Initially I recommend that you download the Lenovo System Update application to update the available drivers (Mainly the Touchpad drivers);

Make sure Windows is up to date;

Press Windows key + i and go to Update and Security;
Click Check for updates and do all pending updates;
After making sure Windows is up to date, do a clean boot;

Press together the keys: Ctrl + Shift + Esc to access the task manager;
Click on Start and disable all programs from startup;

run a disk cleanup;

Press Windows key + R and type: cleanmgr press Enter;
Click on clean system files and wait for the files to load;
Select all files and click ok to delete them;

Restart the PC and check if the Touchpad behavior still persists;

Hope this helps, see you soon!

Thx mod! Hi I also have a problem with my touchpad and it sounds like it's the exact same problem you were having. Did you manage to eventually fix it? I also found a youtube video by someone else with the exact same problem too.

My problem is the following: for at least half a year now, but not triggered by anything at all that I can think of having done to my laptop (Lenovo Yoga 530 14-IKB, on that note, which exact model do you have? I want to look up if we have the same motherboard and/or touchpad unit), my touchpad will start lagging massively at random moments. Like you, I'm able to fix it for a while by restarting, but I discovered that it also gets resolved by closing and opening the lid, but only temporarily. It even feels like after attempting that fix, the problem comes back a little more quickly than after a reboot, but that could just be me imagining it. The same is true for disabling and re-enabling the touchpad by using the function on the F6 key. The problem also spontaneously resolves if I wait long enough, but then I think it again also comes back more quickly. The problem concerns the touchpad, but not my USB mouse.

I have tried:

• Disabling and re-enabling relevant devices in devmgr, didn't fix

• Uninstalling relevant devices in devmgr (so they get automatically re-installed upon reboot), didn't fix

• Looking for drivers to roll back, to no avail

• Made dumps of the listed processes/services/things in Task Manager etc, both when the problem is happening and when it isn't, then comparing those lists, no clues

• Endlessly look for any driver updates that might help, in several sources, but nothing found (also, since this problem started happening 'spontaneously' for me, I would expect that if it were caused by a faulty driver update, then I would somehow also (semi-)automatically receive another update that fixed it, if such update existed)

Still need to try:

• Using some other OS for long enough to trigger the problem (or not have the problem happen; that's the question), though I suspect it won't happen, meaning the drivers (or hardware) are the problem and we will be F'd by Lenovo's refusal to fix it because I certainly won't switch to Linux permanently

• Using W10 in safe boot for long enough to trigger the problem

• Disabling a lot of things to see if it prevents the problem or not

But all of these things are inherently super time and/or disk space consuming so I haven't yet

Exactly same problem here.

The problem starts I don't know why (although i think often after having pc in idle mode) and goes away for no apparent reason. I first thought my CPU or RAM was fully used but this happens even when there is nothing running.

And when it happens (and it now happens every day), it drives me crazy. The only solution i have is to use the trackpoint.

Any fix would be appreciated :)))

I have since figured out that's the problem only happens when the laptop is plugged in. Same for you? Also can you fix the problem temporarily by pressing the trackpad on off button twice?

So this exact problem is ALSO happening to me, I also noticed a lot of other issues related to being plugged in as well including camera issues while in a video chat on Discord, Facebook, or Teams, latest drivers installed, BIOS updated, etc. ONLY happens while plugged in. I've got the P72 in particular, any correlation on model/part numbers that we know of?

Just bought a T14 Gen 3 and have the same issue, it was fine but seems laggy. I don't know what the fix is... It's not a Symnaptics pad. It's an Elan. It's driving me nuts

Please annoy the living **** out of Lenovo!!!! If you just bought it, you're still in warranty, so with you they are required to actually give a damn. Can you temporarily fix the problem by turning the touch pad off and on again, using the alternate function of your F6 key (at least that's where mine is)? Might tell us more about whether we have the same problem or not.

Exactly the same problem.

ThinkPad p1 gen4.

Touchpad SUDDENLY starts to be slow, this also affects scrolling. But In the same way, if you leave touchpad alone it suddenly stops being slow and returns to normal... The problem started after one of the Windows updates but I don’t remember which one. Maybe driver reinstalling will help, but can anyone explain to me how to reinstall driver for the touchpad If in "mouse properties" I can’t find any drivers other than ELAN, I2C-HID device and USB input device. All drivers are up to date

Waiting for an answer. Thx
