MacBook Air trackpad sometimes doesn't work

Recently, on my new MacBook Air, the trackpad doesn't work randomly at certain times. Usually, when this happens, I have to force restart my laptop a few times. This happens randomly and is a daily annoyance that I don't know what time it happens. Could anyone please help me with this issue, and also provide me more details to why this happens and how to stop it?

iMac 21.5″, macOS 13.4

What causes Keyboard/trackpad freezing on my MacBook Air? I have a MacBook Air that was bought in 2022. Recently, and frequently, the keyboard and track pad freeze/ track pad will not depress.

FORGOT TO ADD: When the trackpad breaks, I also try tapping on it to click as I have it turned on in my settings. That doesn't work either.
