Windows 10: Need to Disable Touchpad for Lenovo Yoga

The plastic cover for the touchpad is damaged which makes the cursor jump around. I tried uninstalling the Lenovo Pointing Device and drivers several times. I have an external mouse that works fine but I'm unable to select to use this exclusively in settings. How can I choose to use only the mouse and to disable the touchpad?

touchpad functioning on lenovo yoga pro3

I just upgrading window10 on my Lenovo yoga pro3. Touchpad is not functioning. I tried in settings but not helpful. pl. advise.

 

Touchpad cursor disappears and is unresponsive. (Lenovo Yoga 720, Windows 10)

SOLUTION: for the Yoga 720 12ikb

Problem: after sleep, windows pointer from touchpad dissapears and will not reappear

in your apps should be "Lenovo Vantage" start it;

--System Update: click on "Download and Install Lenovo Updates for Your Device"

-- Check for updates

1st recommended update was the driver: Elan Touchpad IAP for Yoga 720 Win10[64] v1.0.0.3

installed, rebooted

Problem not solved, so started Lenovo Vantage again, .... this time a Bios Update was suggested.

--Install, reboot

Problem solved.,or at this early stage it appears so! ..... you mileage may vary

 

Lenovo 3 Yoga Touchpad and Windows 10

I had the same problem.

First open the OneKey optimizer app that comes preinstalled with most Lenovo laptops. Click the Trash Can icon and click "Clean" button. This will clean the Registry errors.

Next, go to the
Lenovo Support Page and locate your laptop under the "Yoga Series"

• Under filters for components choose "Mouse and Keyboard"
• Under filters for OS choose "Windows 10"
• Select the Synaptics Touchpad Driver and download it to your desired location.
• Run the program

Having completed the above:

• Type "Device Manager" in the search bar on the start menu
• Open it the app and locate the "Mice and other pointing devices"
• click the '>' and you should see "Lenovo Pointing Device"
• Right Click and choose 'Properties'
• Click the driver tab and uninstall
• don't panic because the touch pad stops working (or if you have an external mouse to compensate)
• Control-Alt-Delete and use Tab on the keyboard and highlight the power icon to the bottom right hand of the screen and restart.
• Touchpad should be in working order.
