Obviously, the previously installed touchpad driver software might have been corrupted. This problem really needs a reinstallation of the driver software for the touchpad. You can download the driver software for Toshiba Satellite S855 online. I have provided the download link below.
Toshiba Satellite S855 TouchPad Driver
Install this driver software and restart your computer system. Try to use the touchpad of your laptop.
