disable touchpad

Hi Donna,

Disabling touchpad will depend on the make and model of your Laptop. Some models would have its own button that would allow you to disable/enable the touchpad from the keyboard. Other models would also have settings from its own driver software that would
allow you to toggle it on/off. Since you've mentioned that your laptop is Dell, may we know the specific model?

However, if you have other pointing device to connect on your laptop (like a mouse), you can disable the touchpad through Windows settings by following these steps:

• On your keyboard, press Windows + I.
• Click Devices.
• Choose Touchpad.
• Uncheck Leave touchpad on when a mouse is connected.

After performing the steps above, your touchpad will be disabled until you disconnect the other pointing device.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Regards.

 

disable touchpad

Hi James,

Touchpad is usually disabled and re-enabled by pressing the Fn and either
F3 or F9 keys, but that depends on the laptop that you have. Each brand have its own shortcut keys. However, you can disable the touchpad from the Settings page. Follow these steps:

1. Open Settings > Devices.
2. In the left pane, click Touchpad.
3. To completely disable the touchpad, toggle off Touchpad.
4. If you only want to disable the touchpad when an external mouse is connected, check the box for
   Leave touchpad on when a mouse is connected option.

Let me know if you need further help so I can assist you.

Regards.

 

Disable Touchpad in Windows 11

How do you disable the "TOUCHPAD" in WINDOWS 11?

There aren't any options for disabling the Touchpad under the Settings menu and there aren't any options for disabling the Touchpad in the Device Manager window. I have tried them both. If you try the Device Manage it actually disables the Mouse.

I have searched the forum and other tech websites, but none of them can offer a way of disabling the touchpad in Windows 11.

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
