  1. mouse and touchpad


    win 10

    dell 15-3567



    A few days ago, I noticed when on line and trying to scrolldown by placing my cursor over the scroll bar on right side of page it either willnot move the the bar, or it will move it in the reverse direction I want it tomove.

    I am using a dell touch pad mouse.

    I have gone into device manager and updated the mouse driverand there were no updates. This is the best driver

    I went into pc setting and tried to run a troubleshootingtouchpad and that did not fix it as well.

    I also uninstalled and rebooted laptop and that did nothing.



    One suggestion in the MS help pc setting was to go intocontrol panel, mice, properties and try to roll back driver but the tab isgrayed out and it is not an option.

    I also find that when I try to highlight a word or sentenceby placing my cursor to the right or left and swiping with my finger tohighlight it it acts as there is nothing happening. If I tap click the mouse several timessometimes it will snap back and work.



    Did I miss anything?

    What ever help you can offer would be greatly appreciated

    :)

    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

    Hi Denise,

    To address your concern, we suggest that you check if the touchpad is enabled in Mouse Properties.

    Please follow these steps below to check the status of the touchpad.

    • Click Start and choose Settings.
    • Click on Devices. Choose Mouse & touchpad. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click
      Additional mouse options.
    • The Mouse Properties window will open. Click the tab furthest to the right (ELAN
      or Device Settings).
    • Under Devices, check if your touchpad is disabled. If it is disabled, click the touchpad to select it and then click
      Enable.

    Let us know how it goes.
