    I disabled my touch pad long ago on my Toshiba Satellite P875-S7200. I never had to mess with it again ... until recently. I booted my computer and noticed my touch pad was active, so I went into mouse to disable it again. When I clicked on "Mouse" I got a pop up window as shown in #1synaptics. I clicked NO on this window because I don't know what I'm doing here. I feared a yes might get me into permanent trouble.

    I went into Mouse and clicked on the Device Settings tab and disabled as in synaptics 2. But it doesn't stay disabled.

    I'd appreciate some advice on this.

    :)

  3. Windows 10 Upgrade - Synaptics Touchpad driver resets itself everytime I start the PC frsh

    A great solution to irritation of having to reload synaptics profile. Now we may never know if synaptics fixes the underlying problem.

    There appears to be a fix from Synaptics. But MS Update unfixes it. Details here Synaptics Touchpad on Windows 10

    You will have to re-install the Synaptics ClickPad driver as some things are greyed out that should not be, and the driver is a bit old assuming this is Windows 10.

    Presume you normally use a USB mouse that still works ?

    I would go to the Device Manager and locate the Synaptics ClickPad.
    Device Manager > Mice and other pointing devices > Synaptics SMBus TouchPad > Select > Red X on toolbar to uninstall.
    Then Action > Scan for hardware changes and the driver should be re-installed from the Windows driver cache or it will go to Windows updates.
    You could also try Action > Update driver.

  7. There was a known issue with some BIOS versions on the Toshiba's with the Synaptic TP driver.
