It worked, but even during the installation the touchpad didn&#8217;t work. No problem, I thought, it happens. Many drivers are installed later. Either via the Windows update or alternatively we simply download the driver from the manufacturer&#8217;s homepage.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, neither was successful. The Windows update installed some drivers, but the touchpad still did not work. A look in the device manager showed that more drivers were missing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ace_driver_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"503\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-59850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ace_driver_1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ace_driver_1-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ace_driver_1-768x483.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Download_drivers_from_Acemagic\"><\/span>Download drivers from Acemagic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>No problem, let&#8217;s have a look at the manufacturer&#8217;s homepage.

However, why the manufacturer does not manage to offer the appropriate drivers for download in time for the release of the device is a mystery to me. I assume that this will still happen.
