Windows 10: Regarding not showing the caption that my touchpad has been turned on/off and my cooling...

When i turn on the touchpad by pressing Function+F10, the note saying "Touchpad on" doesnot show. it is the same when i turn it off. The main problem is with the cooling fans. When i change the speed pressing Function + F5 the note doesn't show silent, balanced, high= modes. But it used to when i first bought the computer. What am i supposed to do? My laptop model is Asus TUF FX505GE.

turn off touchpad

Thanks for trying I downloaded driver for touchpad, followed the steps you listed but it did not solve the problem - When I get to the last tab for the software, there is no checkbox for "disable touchpad if mouse is attached." I can completely disable the
touchpad by system, and you, advised against this so at least I had the warning not to completely disable touchpad. I have tried the other options suggested but to no avail. Frustrating!

 

regarding alps touchpad misbehaving

Hi Saurabh,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I would suggest you try to uninstall and then reinstall the driver from Manufacturer's website and see if it helps.

Follow the steps.

• Press Windows key + X key and click Device Manager.
• Expand the Mice and other pointing devices.
• Right-click on the Touchpad Driver
  and select
  Uninstall.
• Now go to the Manufacturer's Website and download the touchpad driver.
• Once, the download is complete, run the setup file and install the driver.

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

Regards,

 

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
