  1. Mouse pad not able to be turned off


    Hi, I have a laptop which I use to play games on so I use a mouse. I usually turn off the mousepad so my wrist doesn't touch it. I used to be able to press windows+R and type main.cpl to go to the mouse settings tab and from there I would hit turn off the mouse pad when a USB device is plugged in. Now, when I do the same thing and go to that page, there is no option to turn off the mouse pad when I have a USB device is plugged in. How can I fix this?

    :)

  2. Mouse pad turn off windows 10 on a HP laptop

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    Please reply: What happens when you try disabling the mouse pad? Do you receive any error message?

    You can also disable your mouse pad by following the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + X key and click Device Manager.
    • Expand the Mice and other pointing devices.
    • Right-click on the Mouse driver and click on Disable.
    • A prompt will appear, click yes.
    I would also suggest you update the driver from the device manager.

    Hope this helps. Please respond if you have further related queries.

    Regards,

  3. mouse pad Asus two in one

    After I downloaded and installed Microsoft 10 I have not been able to turn off my touch pad. I use an external mouse and with the mouse pad on it creates issues when I try to type emails and memos.

    My function key works with everything except the function to turn off my touch pad. I have gone to device mgr and nothing. This is really frustrating.

    Any suggestions? I

    mouse pad

    I tried what was suggested but it kept going back to the same problem. I realized when I rolled back the driver it was disabling the elan mouse pad and going back to the ps/2 mouse pad . So I uninstalled the elan mouse pad and the problem was solved.
