    So the title says it all, I can't move cursor with touchpad while typing and I also tried checking answers from previous years but none works, so like I don't have settings or whatever in synaptic in the mouse settings.

  2. turn off touchpad while typing

    Hi James,



    There are several factors to consider for this kind of issue. First is the make and model of your computer, next is the build of your Windows 10. If you want to completely disable the touchpad function on your computer, we would suggest to uninstall
    it from the device manager.



    Here’s how:



    • Press Windows Key + X and select Device Manager.
    • Under Mice and other pointing devices, look for the driver for your Touchpad.
    • Right click on the driver and select Uninstall.


    Let us know if the above steps have helped resolve your concern.

    I want to disable touchpad on Dell laptop


    Hello everyone,
    My laptop's touchpad works and I don't want it to, because I prefer a mouse. It's a Dell Inspiron 11 3000 series on windows 10 OS.

    What I have tried that hasn't worked:
    • start<settings<devices<mouse & touchpad<additional mouse options. This opens a window called Mouse Options which has 5 tabs up top, none of which involve the touchpad. The Hardware tab shows 2 devices: the mouse itself, and the USB. No touchpad there.
    • windows key+x<mobility center. No touchpad to be found.
    • various function keys. No options for touchpad on/off.
    • device manager<mice and other pointing devices. Again, only the mouse and usb show up. It appears the touchpad is working without a driver, which is a little spooky.
    Any other suggestions? I could try downloading a third party driver, but that seems like a step in the wrong direction.
    Thanks
