Windows 10: I can't see my touchpad in device manager.

My touchpad is working but I can't see it in the device manager. I can't get access to precision touchpad settings. I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. In Windows 7 I had precision touchpad settings. Because the touchpad is not in the device manager I tried installing dell touchpad drivers but it says that I don't need touchpad drivers.


My pc is a Dell and the touchpad is Synaptics.


Please help me!

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

 

My touchpad isn't working properly

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in reply.



I suggest you to roll back the drivers and check if that helps.

Try the following steps:

• 
  Right click on the start icon and choose device manager
  
• 
  In device manager, right on the touchpad under Mice and other pointing devices.
  
• 
  Click on Rollback under driver tab.
  

Hope this helps.
