[Bro]

Is there a manufacturer's update for that dated 2016 BIOS?

[regularCoder]

No i dont think so, i checked my laptop has been discontinued even tho its pretty new

[Khsh01]

Couple of things to try:

1. LTS kernel
2. Check lenovo section of arch wiki.
3. Determine touchpad driver and search systemctl and dmesg outputs with it to see what goes wrong.

For the touchpad, I think you’ll need synaptics drivers.
Please check this post:

[Solved] Touchpad Tap-to-Click grayed out

So, I've always used the synaptic drivers on my Lenovo ( 3 so far) Make a backup first just in case this doesn't work, but I'd pacman -Syu xf86-input-synaptics Reboot and you should have options for tap-to-click This is the package details: Arch Linux - xf86-input-synaptics 1.9.1-2 (x86_64) And read up more about it here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics Edit: Welcome to Linux! We're all learning here. Even after years, I'm still learning.

@Khsh01

outputs wit

so it does work like after 15 mins of leaving it connected

[Khsh01]

Sounds like a your system just needs time to sort itself out. You can check if your cpu usage spikes on connection by keeping htop on when connecting your mouse or using touchpad.

Maybe you could try loading the drivers for your touchpad and mouse in your initramfs.

I found the fix,
Get a new charger seriously it works on unplugging it

A new battery might also be in order.
