  3. KEYBOARD AND TOUCHPAD WONT LOCK

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

    I appreciate your interest on windows 10.

    I understand your concern and will help you with the issue.

    To begin with troubleshooting I would like you to answer the following question:


    • What is the KB number of recent Windows update?

    • How are you trying to lock the Touchpad?

    • What is the make and model of the computer?

    Check whether update had installed successfully on the computer by checking the Windows update history. If the update had failed to install then try to install that manually.

    Method 1

    I suggest you to uninstall the updates first before reinstalling it manually.

    To uninstall the updates, please follow the steps below:


    • Right click on
      start menu
      .

    • Select programs and features.

    • Under program and features select
      updates which you installed.

    • Right click on
      updates
      and click on uninstall.
    Method 2

    I suggest you to try the following steps to disable\lock the Touchscreen.

    1. Type device manager into the Search box. Click the
    device manager result, and the Device Manager window will pop up.

    2. Expand Mice and other pointing devices.

    3. Right-click the touchpad's entry. In the menu that pops up, click Disable.

    4. Confirm your choice in the pop-up window.

    Please get back to us with updated status, we will be happy to assist you.
