    inhibit touch pad when a mouse is plugged in


    Shortly after the last windows 10 automatic upgrade I am no longer able to disable my touch pad on my HP laptop - I use to be able to do it so that when an external mouse was detected the internal touch pad was disabled. Can't do that anymore and its a real inconvenience. Anybody know a work around??

    :)

    turn off touch pad

    Hi Brian,

    You can disable Touch pad from the Device Manager. Make sure that the mouse is already plugged in before disabling the touch pad. To disable Touch pad, follow these steps:

    • Press and hold Windows logo key + R.
    • Type Devmgmt.msc in the Run command dialog box.
    • Press Enter.
    • Expand Mice and other pointing devices.
    • Right-click on the first HID-compliant mouse entry.
    • Select Disable.
    • Hit Yes.

    Let us know if you need additional assistance.

    Mouse pad sometimes is multi touch???


    My wife also has a Toshiba Notebook and gets frustrated by the Touch pad [not to be confused with a mouse pad] when typing so she keeps it turned off and uses a wireless mouse. Some Touch pads have a "gesture" feature using 2 fingers, especially those with the Touch Screen, similar to SmartPhones and Tablets.

    Mouse and touch pad

    I bought a new mouse. When I plug I install it into the usb port I am not able to automatically disable the touch pad. It's driving me crazy. Why is this so complicated?
