    Preferably just what is this whole thing that is causing this, because of course our current "AI sMaRt" browser searches can no longer figure out wtf people actually mean so they think I'm asking about how to decrease blur on lock screens (is that even a thing? Who knows!) - I don't need any of this whether on lock screen or in any of the UIs. None of it is relevant. (Pixelated to protect locations details and other things; left to right is Weather, Markets and stocks, soccer "news", and some type of spam "Daily Quiz" crap).

    • Click OK to confirm and check with the issue.

  3. Disabling laptop keyboard

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    As per the description. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

    I suggest you follow the steps below and check if that helps:

    • Press Windows + X and select
      Device Manager
      from the list.
    • Find Keyboards in the list of devices and click the arrow to expand it.
    • Right-click on the internal keyboard and click Disable. If there is no Disable option listed, click
      Uninstall.
    • Click File>Exit. Your laptop’s internal keyboard should now be disabled.
    Note: If you had to choose Uninstall instead of Disable in step 4, the keyboard will be automatically detected and re-installed if you ever have the Device Manager scan for new hardware for some reason. If that happens you’ll need to repeat this procedure
    in order to uninstall it again.

    Hope the information helps. Please let us know if the issue persist and we will be happy to assist you further.

    How to disable the touchpad.

    Hi Ralph,

    There are a lot of factors for this issue to occur. To
    isolate the issue, we have some questions for you:


    • Were there any changes made before the issue occur?

    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    If it is a tablet, the touchpad will not be disabled as a design. For more accurate information, we suggest that
    you contact your manufacturer
    for further assistance.

    Update us on how
    everything goes.

    Regards.
