Symptoms

If you install Windows 10 onto a Latitude xx80 laptop with a Skylake processor, the touchpad may become inoperable due to the touchpad now being based on the I2C protocol rather than the Legacy PS/2 protocol.

Note: Versions of Windows 10 PE 32-bit cannot recognize I2C touchpads. The Serial IO Device that leads to the I2C bus is PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9D61 which is run by iaLPSS2i_I2C_SKL.inf. This file is not present in the Windows 10 PE 32-bit, but is present in Windows 10 PE 64-bit.

Cause

No cause information.

Resolution

Once Windows 10 and most drivers are installed, there are no bangs in Device Manager but the touchpad is still inoperative if the Intel Serial IO driver was not loaded. Download and install the Intel Serial IO driver for your operating system, which provides the necessary virtual connection between the I2C bus and Windows.

Go to the Dell Drivers & Downloads and search for the Intel Serial IO driver under the Chipset category to download the latest driver version of the file.

Note: You must also install the Dell Touchpad Drivers, which can be found by following the steps above and choosing the Mouse, Keyboard & Input Devices category from the available driver menu, then downloading and installing the latest Dell Touchpad Drivers that appears under this category.

Before Intel Serial IO Driver installation:
