First try to install latest Windows 8 or Windows 7 driver. It could work better than Windows 10 driver. Are you sure the touchpad is not disabled in BIOS or by any relevant key combination? Have a look at Device Manager. Are all your devices OK? Any unknown/uninstalled device? Try updating the chipset drivers (INF files) as well.
The Function key for the touchpad has no effect whatsoever. I did flash the BIOS and chipset drivers about a month ago and everything worked as it should until Microsoft automatically upgraded the OS from 7 to 10. I will give your suggestion of using the Windows 7 driver a try and see what happens.
It could be a small possibility that the key combinations need a Quick Launch or similar utility to work. Have a look at the utilities section of manufacturer's support site
The key to turn it off on my ASUS Laptop doesn't work either. I think it's because that was originally handled by an ASUS factory installed utility? ATK or the Smart Gestures utility maybe? I think it's the only special function key that doesn't work. on my laptop. I haven't done anything to sort out why it doesn't work. I use it.
I have seen in it HP and Dell notebooks. The Wi-Fi or something else (such as the touch pad on/off button) doesn't work until you install the relevant utility to enable it. Just install any utility you suspect could be responsible. You never know...
In the early builds and in Windows 8 Airplane mode wouldn't work on mine. There was an ASUS utility that fixed it. Now, everything except the track pad off button works with the stock drivers.
That's what I'm talking about. If it doesn't work as expected with the stock drivers, try updating them to the latest official drivers from manufacturer's site. Automatic driver installation is convenient but not ideal.
Not an option for me, no Windows 10 drivers listed for my laptop on ASUS site. It shipped with Windows 8.0. Next to no Windows 8.1 drivers too. I can live with the button not working though. It's either that or take your chance with a driver for another similar model. Trying to figure out the exact make model trackpad installed can be a pain too. Anyway, I just posted to see if the OP figures it out, and to chime in that I'm in the same situation.
