    Disabling the touchpad for Windows 10 update 1903


    Okay, so I've had the update for about a few weeks now, and I can't seem to disable my touchpad anymore.


    Before the update, I had the ability to disable the touchpad whenever my mouse is connected. Now I've no longer got that option. What gives? I've gone under the settings MULTIPLE TIMES, I've tried uninstalling it several times, but every time I restart like I'm told it's still active. I've even tried looking for updates for the touchpad, but nothing works.


    Can someone please help me understand what I'm missing or what I need to do, because I've been with Microsoft for years and I've never had as many headaches with an OS than I've had since upgrading to Windows 10. This latest update patch is only furthering my frustrations.

    :)

    • Go to Settings.
    • Select Ease of Access.
    • Click Touchpad.
    • Under Touchpad, toggle the switch on or off.
    • You can also uncheck the box beside Leave touchpad on the when a mouse is connectedoption to disable it when you use a traditional mouse.

  3. After Windows 10 update, can no longer disable touchpad. Please help

    Hi Feisty

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    I understand your concern about disabling the touchpad after Windows Update, do let us know the following to assist you better:

    • Are you referring to November Update?
    • What is the make and model of your device?
    • Do you have any issues with functionality of Touchpad?
    • Where exactly were you trying to search for disable option?

    This issue might have happened because of corrupted/ outdated touchpad drivers after the update.

    If you are unable to access touchpad, I suggest you to connect an external mouse to try the below.

    Step 1: Follow the below steps for search for the disable option and try to turn if off.


    • Press Windows + X keys from the keyboard and click on
      Control Panel.

    • Click on Mouse.

    • On the Device Settings tab of the
      Mouse Properties screen, click the Disable button to turn off the Touchpad.

    • Restart the system and check.

    Step 2: Update the Touchpad drivers.

    • Press Windows key + X key when you are at desktop.
    • Select Device Manager.
    • Expand Mice and other pointing devices.
    • Right click on each of the drivers and click on Update driver software.
    Also, try to search for the drivers from Manufacturer's website and try to install the drivers.

    Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of this issue for further assistance.
