    Touchpad/Wireless mouse enable/disable settings Win 10 Home

    My gaming laptop I have set to disable the touchpad when my old wired mouse is connected, since my wrist rests on the touchpad as I'm playing. When I'm done playing I unplug the mouse and the touchpad automatically works again. This is just a general setting in Windows 10.

    Now though I have a wireless mouse. When I connect the dongle to the USB port, the touchpad is always disabled. I would rather it only be disabled once I turn the mouse itself on (which coincides for when I want to actually use the mouse, be that in a game or otherwise). Once I turn the mouse off, I need the touchpad to work, but don't want to have to manually unplug the mouse dongle every time I need to use the touchpad again.

    Is there a way to configure this behavior in the Windows settings? Thanks.

    I want to disable touchpad on Dell laptop


    Hello everyone,
    My laptop's touchpad works and I don't want it to, because I prefer a mouse. It's a Dell Inspiron 11 3000 series on windows 10 OS.

    What I have tried that hasn't worked:
    • start<settings<devices<mouse & touchpad<additional mouse options. This opens a window called Mouse Options which has 5 tabs up top, none of which involve the touchpad. The Hardware tab shows 2 devices: the mouse itself, and the USB. No touchpad there.
    • windows key+x<mobility center. No touchpad to be found.
    • various function keys. No options for touchpad on/off.
    • device manager<mice and other pointing devices. Again, only the mouse and usb show up. It appears the touchpad is working without a driver, which is a little spooky.
    Any other suggestions? I could try downloading a third party driver, but that seems like a step in the wrong direction.
    Thanks
