On one of my laptops, I experience regular erratic responsiveness from my touchpad. After booting, it will work fine for perhaps several hours, then out of the blue the cursor will 'fight' my touchpad input.
I've just discovered that this issue is not fixed by a restart, but it is fixed by shutting down and then booting up. My question is: what Windows functions would survive a restart?

Fortunately my touch screen came to the rescue. Then I powered off and pressed the power buttom for 30 seconds. Finally, I changed Power Options from high performance to balanced and my fan runs less. 24 hours later, no more touchpad problems... touch wood.
