Windows 10: Registry. Stop touchpad driver changing setting upon restarting laptop

I have an asus ux303ua and am trying to sort out issues with the touchpad.

I have discovered some settings in the registry that may help solve my problem. But... whenever I restart my laptop the registry gets reset back to how it was before I changed the touchpad settings. Presumably something is resetting the registry upon startup. Could it be the driver ?

Is there a way to stop some registry settings being changed? Is there a way to lock individual settings in registry?

Thanks for any help

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

 

Changing Touchpad Settings but changes aren't taking effect

Hi, HP Probook 450 G6 - drivers page:
https://support.hp.com/gb-en/drivers...ok-pc/23201167

This is what you should have:




and you can compare the driver version with what you have.

I suggest you download that, uninstall the touchpad drivers you have, choosing to delete them.
Then disconnect /disable the internet to prevent new ones being downloaded, restart, and install that one.
Then try your touchpad.

If all is ok, you may need to stop Windows update updating them.

Did this problem perhaps arise after upgrading to 2004? Note that an increasing number of problems are being found with this- in particular, if your laptop has a SSD drive, trim will be being run perhaps multiple times a day - not good.
