  2. Unable to turn off and on touchpad after the latest update on Windows 10

    This very same error/problem appeared on my laptop as of today 22 april 2017 after a big windows 10 update.

    I can't deactivate the touchpad, but the other functions connected to the fn key works just fine.

    Tried to follow the solution posted here but step 1 did nothing and under step 2 the option to activate/deactivate the touchpad is not available under either mose or touchpad settings.

    Any advice on how to fix this?

    Best regards

    Mats

  3. FN key always on

    A friend of mine daughter has an Asus Transform book that I'm interested in buying. There's only one problem: the FN key is always active. Pressing the key does not turn it off. I went into to BIOS to see if it can be disabled in the but there's no option. Is there a way to disable the key from Windows? Like a registry hack or something? It's something that I want, but the FN key is driving me crazy!

    FN key always on

    To clarify, I was saying "Accessibility" features maybe be controlled via the BIOS, not the Fn keys. And one of the Accessibility features makes the keys "sticky". This allows folks with some disabilities to press, for example, the Ctrl key, then the Alt key, and then Del in sequence instead of all at once. Same with the Fn key. The sticky feature would let you first press the Fn key, and then the F9 key (for example) and not Fn + F9 at the same time to enable/disable whatever Fn + F9 does with that notebook (it is the touchpad on my Toshiba).
