    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    I understand your concern that you are unable to access touchpad after being upgrading to Windows 10. We will help you to resolve this issue.

    This issue might have occurred due to touchpad settings/ corrupted drivers.

    I suggest you to connect external mouse to your device as touchpad is not working and check if it is working. If so follow the below steps.

    Method 1: Run Hardware troubleshooter.

    • Write Troubleshooting
      in the search box and hit Enter.

    • Click on Troubleshooting
      tab.

    • Click on view all option on the upper left corner.

    • Select the Hardware and Device
      options from the list.

    • Click Next to run the
      Hardware and Device
      Troubleshooter.

    Method 2: If the issue still persist, please follow the below steps and check.


    • Press Windows + X keys from the keyboard and click on
      Control Panel.

    • Click on Mouse.

    • On the Device Settings tab of the
      Mouse Properties screen, click the Disable button to turn off the Touchpad.

    • Restart the system and Enable.

    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
