Windows 10: HP Trackpad uninstalled in error

I have an HP laptop, 15 Pavilion, and I inadvertently uninstalled the track pad, now I cannot get it back. I have gone to HP web site and tried to install drivers but I am notified that the device is not present.

How can I get it back?

How to disable trackpad for HP Elitebook 840 G5

As the question states, I am simply trying to disable my touchpad on my HP laptop. So I think this is very specific for the HP Elitebook 840 G5 as I have tried the following generic methods to disable the trackpad:

1. Under mouse settings, using the Synaptics tab. This tab does not exist for me. (Reference HP Notebooks with Synaptics TouchPad - How to Disable the "Double Tap to Enable or Disable TouchPad" Feature | HP® Customer Support)
   
2. Disabling the Synaptics driver. I thought this would work for sure too but I tried to disable all of the mouse drivers available under Mice and other pointing devices (Device Manager) and the trackpad still works.
   
3. Using third party software. I tried "touchpad-blocker" and even when enabled, the touchpad still works.
   
4. Double tapping the top left corner (https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Noteb...ad-on-an-hp-elitebook-850-laptop/td-p/5480918) This does nothing for mine.
   

I am open for other suggestions. I am really surprised that disabling the driver didn't work.
