    How can I disable the ELAN touchpad on my HP laptop with win 10 updated in July 2020


    I cannot find an option to disable the ELAN touchpad when I plug in a USB mouse. If this option is no longer available, how can I de install the touchpad ?

    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!!

    Elan touchpad

    I have an HP laptop I purchased in January 2019. I spent three days last year working with a tech person to disable the Elan touchpad that came installed. Windows 10 updated a few days ago and enabled the touchpad. Please tell me how to disable it again.
    It is a constant problem and annoyance!!! None of the instructions on the web worked. I've even tried uninstalling the driver, but it's reinstalled when I restart the computer. This is not an event that endears Microsoft, HP or Elan.

    Elan touchpad on my HP laptop

    Since my laptop was in the shop and new Windows updates were downloaded, I cannot get rid of the Elan touchpad. I prefer to never use the touchpad. How do I disable this annoying device?
