Windows 10: Cannot disable my Elan touchpad on my new HP laptop

I have tried every one of the suggestions to disable this touchpad. My issue is that the ELAN tab doesn't show up like on my other computer under the additional settings. The last tab i see is Hardware. It does show the Elan Touchpad under the hardware tab, just like my other computer but no additional tab with the Elan title which has the checkbox to disable it when an external mouse is connected. I have windows 10 home and an hp laptop. Does anyone have any other suggestions. I have already reinstalled the drivers 2x and it did nothing to change the issue. Any help would be appreciated.


Completely Frustrated!!

ELAN touchpad on Asus laptop disabled every time Windows 10 boots

I loaded Windows 10 yesterday (8/7/15) and the ELAN touchpad on my Asus laptop would not work. I have a wireless mouse that I was able to use and accessed the Mouse page under Hardware and Sound where I found that the ELAN button was disabled. I enabled
and the touchpad worked until I rebooted this morning.

 

Can't disable touchpad


My laptop contains a touchpad by ELAN. The ELAN driver (and several versions of the Synaptics one as well) allows you to disable the touchpad in Control Panel > Mouse > ELAN > Disable, if an external USB mouse is found.

I checked that and it is working as expected.
