That is correct, Dell no longer releases driver packages for touchpads. Modern laptops receive their drivers in Windows Update.
I don't have Windows 11 in front of me to check. In Touchpad settings, find a setting called TouchCheck or PalmCheck (or palm tracking or palm detect) and disable it. (It temporarily stops touchpad inputs while the user is typing - most users want that enabled, to prevent accidental touches being interpreted as user inputs).
If you don't see such a setting, then in Touchpad settings, set Touchpad sensitivity to Most Sensitive, so that it should accept touchpad inputs even as there are simultaneous keyboard inputs.
