    turn off touchpad while typing

    My Windows 10 settings doesn't have the "Turn off/on" button. Microsoft should create a quicker function to turn the Touchpad off and on, without having to go into settings. Because in my case, there is NO turn off/on button. In this case, what should
    I do?

    turn off touchpad while typing

    Hi James,



    There are several factors to consider for this kind of issue. First is the make and model of your computer, next is the build of your Windows 10. If you want to completely disable the touchpad function on your computer, we would suggest to uninstall
    it from the device manager.



    Here’s how:



    • Press Windows Key + X and select Device Manager.
    • Under Mice and other pointing devices, look for the driver for your Touchpad.
    • Right click on the driver and select Uninstall.


    Let us know if the above steps have helped resolve your concern.
