  1. How to enable touchpad settings on a desktop computer


    I am trying to get to the touchpad settings found on laptops, but instead on a desktop.


    I have a Logitech K400 plus, which is a wireless keyboard with a touchpad. I use it when I am sitting in front of my TV, instead of my desk, so I don't have my regular keyboard and mouse. The keyboard works great, but there is one thing I would like to change. I want to be able to use one finger scrolling on the right edge of the touchpad. I know that Windows laptops have this option in the touchpad settings. The problem is that my desktop does not have these settings available. Is there a way to enable or otherwise add the Windows 10 touchpad settings menu to a desktop computer?


    I also tried installing the Logitech settings application, but it does not have an options for one finger edge scrolling, just two finger.

    :)

    Touchpad

    Hi Denise,

    To address your concern, we suggest that you check if the touchpad is enabled in Mouse Properties.

    Please follow these steps below to check the status of the touchpad.

    • Click Start and choose Settings.
    • Click on Devices. Choose Mouse & touchpad. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click
      Additional mouse options.
    • The Mouse Properties window will open. Click the tab furthest to the right (ELAN
      or Device Settings).
    • Under Devices, check if your touchpad is disabled. If it is disabled, click the touchpad to select it and then click
      Enable.

    Let us know how it goes.

  3. Enabling touchpad windows 10 Dell laptop

    Hi Amy,

    I realize that it must be difficult for you when things are not working as it should. Sorry to know that you are facing this issue.

    Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:


    • Did you make any changes to the pc prior to this issue?

    • Have you installed all pending updates on the pc?

    A lot of Dell touchpads have an area at the top left of the pad which when double-tapped will toggle the touchpad On/Off.

    Further, follow these steps to check if that helps:


    • In the Search box, type touchpad.

    • Touch or click Mouse & touchpad settings (System settings).

    • Touch or click the Touchpad toggle to turn off or on the Touchpad.

    Note: When there is no Touchpad toggle look for Additional mouse options at the bottom of the page.


    • Touch or click Additional mouse options.

    • Touch or click the Dell Touchpad or Click Pad tab.

    Touch or click the link, Click to change Dell Touchpad settings, there may be an option to enable or disable the Touchpad.

    Keep us informed to help you further.
