    Elan TouchPad keeps disabling in Windows 10


    I have a Toshiba s50 laptop and for as long as I can remember the TouchPad just keeps randomly disabling. With a bunch of fumbling around I might get it to work again and then again it stops. Just the other day I removed the TouchPad from device manager and rebooted. At 1st the keyboard disabled as well, logged in with an external keyboard and then keyboard enabled and hey presto the TouchPad enabled......... 1 minute later the TouchPad disables again. Any ideas?? TIA Bart

    Cannot disable ELAN Touchpad on Lenovo G500


    Prior to installing Windows 10, I would disable the touchpad on my PC (hate it!) by going to Settings - Mouse Properties - ELAN - Stop Device. Since installing Windows 10, the ELAN device does not show up under devices and I cannot disable. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    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!!
