Hi OKSunshine

There is no standard method in WIndows to turn off a touchpad, that varies from laptop to laptop and from model to model

Try the steps on this thread on the HP forum, and if that does not work for you, then also post this question over on that HP forum, mentioning the exact Model No, (on the bottom casing of the laptop) and they will know best how to disable the touchpad on that
model . . .

HP Envy Windows 10 - touchpad does not stay disabled

My wife has a lovely laptop - HP Envy. The problem? Every single day she screams that the damned touchpad is back on. I go find the settings to disable and she is golden for a while. A restart or return from sleep... and voila, re-enabled. I have set the setting to fully disable, agreeing with the warning that I am disabling the only active synaptic pointing device. I have tried to set the setting so it is only "on" when a mouse is not attached. Same behavior. I have updated the synaptic pointing device drivers. Still no change. Honestly, the next step could be opening up the case and starting to yank wires at this point. I have never not been able to turn off these devices... what the heck is wrong with Windows 10???? Gahhh!!!!!
