Thank you for your response. I did in fact load and reboot with BIOS defaults multiple times while trying out different settings without success.
After many trials and errors I am currently running BIOS 1.06 with mainline kernel 5.10 and everything is working fine (without GRUB parameters). Even though my understanding of this issue is superficial at best, my suspicion is that Windows dual boot might be interfering even with disabled fast boot. So one of the things I tried was a forced Windows shutdown with "shutdown /s /f /t 0". This seemed to resolve my issue but it's entirely speculative. Since I do need this laptop for work from time to time, I am hestitant to try updating the BIOS again and see if I can get the latest version running. I hope this is helpful in any way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1878279 Title: MSFT0004:00 06CB:CD98 Touchpad/trackpad mouse randomly not recognized from any given boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1878279/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
