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

 

think my touchpad isnt working

Greetings,

My name is Rhaine, I'm Independent Community Volunteer. I’m so glad assisting you today

I am also using Windows 10 pc. Let us work together to sort this out.

You can refer to this link on how to fix touch pad issues with Windows 10

On Start , search for Device Manager, and select it from the list of results.

Under Mice and other pointing devices, select your touchpad, open it, select the Driver tab, and select Update Driver.

If Windows doesn't find a new driver, look for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.

If those steps didn't work, try uninstalling your touchpad driver: open Device Manager, right-click (or press and hold) the touchpad driver, and select Uninstall.

Restart your device and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.

If that didn't work, try using the generic driver that comes with Windows. Here's how: in Device Manager, right-click (or press and hold) your touchpad driver > Update driver software... > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of
device drivers on my computer, select HID compliant mouse, select Next, and follow the instructions to install it.

Fix the Touchpad is not working by running the troubleshooter

Step 1: Go to the Settings app, select the Update and Security tab.

Step 2: Navigate to the Troubleshoot option on the left-hand side and select the Hardware and Devices to run the troubleshooter.

Step 3: This will start checking for the missing driver.

Step 4: Click the Next button to complete the Troubleshooting process.

Step 5: Restart your PC for the changes to take effect. Check whether the touchpad responds or not. If the laptop touchpad is working now, you’ve solved the problem.

If issue persist I highly suggest for you to contact or go to your manufacturers website to download and install the updated touch pad drivers.

I hope the information above helps. Please let me know how it goes.

Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

With Warm Regards,

Hi Abuzar,

Your touchpad drivers might be outdated or corrupted. I would suggest that you update the touchpad driver. Follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key and X together and select
  Device Manager.
• Locate the touchpad driver.
• Right-click on the touchpad driver icon and click Update Driver software.
• Click on Search automatically for Updated driver software option.

If the driver for Windows 10 is not available, download and reinstall the latest touchpad drivers from the manufacturer website.

Keep us updated.
