Touchpad issue

When I turn my MacBook Air on I am able to move the mouse around on the touchpad and enter my password with no issues, it is once I am logged into my account where the touchpad becomes unresponsive. The previously opened tabs and programmes will open again but I can’t move the mouse around or click on anything.

I would appreciate any suggestions

Since you did not mention, I will assume that it is an Intel based MacBook Air and below are my recommendations-

You may want to try some basic troubleshooting techniques and see whether that resolves things.

Reset SMC by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset SMC. If that does not solve things then-
Reset NVRAM/PRAM by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset NVRAM/PRAM. If that does not solve things then-
Enter ➔ Safe Mode and see if the issue still exists in Safe mode. Log out of Safe Mode and then reboot computer. If that does not solve things then-
Finally if none of the above works then you can enter ➔ macOS Recovery Mode and reinstall the macOS and see if that solves it.
