  1. I can't Disable Touchpad Anymore


    Honestly what the **** with this latest Windows 10 update? I can no longer turn off the touchpad when using a mouse and it's making it difficult to work.


    I do NOT have the option to do so from the Device Manager.


    I do NOT have the option to do so from settings.


    So please don't waste my **** time telling me about either. What I need is for you to tell me how to turn off my **** touchpad and do so without condescending to me about it. This broke my **** laptop. **** fix it.

    :)

  2. Touchpad can't disabled

    Hello Joseph,

    If your laptop has a touchpad utility software, you may check if it has an option to disable the touchpad. For instructions please follow these steps:

    • Open Control Panel.
    • Select View by: Small icons.
    • Open Mouse.
    • Click on Touchpad tab.
    • Under the Touchpad sub-menu, click Disable.
    • Click Apply, and OK.
    Disclaimer: If you disable the touchpad, you need to use the keyboard or external mouse to navigate.

    We'll wait for the result.
