Windows 10: random multiple prpblems in my Dell laptop

This is on a Dell Inspiron 15-3541 laptop OS Wim 10 Home 32bit. I still have the random buzz in the sound that effects the video play back and live streaming.

Also I am having a problem with my USB ports. If I turn on the laptop 1st then the USB flash drives and the D: HDD in an external USB case. None of the USB flash drives or the D: HDD will respond. But if I turn on the USB flash drives and/or the D: HDD drive 1st, then power the laptop secondly . Everything is fine, flash drives and the HDD are working. What gives? do I need to get a new laptop?

Random laptop crashes in games.

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
