trackpad fails

windows 8.1 laptop trackpad stopped working

when I do system restore which fails for all 5 restore points,  I use mouse 2 minutes, and I see cursor on screen frozen.
If I just restart I do not even see the cursor.

I follow advice about failed system restore to do a cmd.exe administrator chkdsk /R which runs but does not fix system restore or trackpad

I gave up and owner of computer clicked refresh button.
I do not know where this button is, but problem is solved.
Your answers gave me enough knowledge to take a break instead of being frustrated for hours, so I spent 1 hour 30 minutes failing instead of 6 hours failing; thus I saved 4 hours and 30 minutes.

Thanks.
