Windows 10: Touchpad doesn't deactivate

Hey,
I installed the new Win 10 home and now I'm unable to deactivate the touchpad. I tried to fix it in system controls and of course by "alt+F9" but nothing works... or elseway, it still works.

Can anybody help?

Thanks *Smile

You're probably brushing over the touchpad with your palm without noticing it. Deactivating the touchpad will solve the problem.

 

Alt+tab no longer works with drag-and-drop

Hello! I had the same problem. My problem was a "great" function of my Lenovo Trackpad (it is in fact an Elan Smart-Pad) because the trackpad deactivates itself automatical if I am typing on the keyboard. For disabling it follow these steps:

WIN + I > Devices > Mouse + Touchpad > Additional mouse options > last register "ThinkPad" > Settings (for the touchpad, not the trackpoint of course) > Additional > TP-Deactivation > uncheck

(I translated it from German to English, maybe it doesn't match 100%)

This solution fixed it for me, I hope it will help someone.

Visit manufacturer's site and update the touchpad driver. You may also have to go to utilities and download the Quick Launcher (or similar). This is the one that enables the key combinations. If you haven't that installed, you cannot deactivate the touchpad to do other key combinations.

 

Hey, thanks for the answer, but i did try already to download newest driver and it said it would already be the newest update...
About the key combinations launcher,... i didnt try that yet, but wouldn't it be impossible to use the other key combinations. Because they do work...

 

Some (volume, brightness etc) may work without the Launcher. Others need the Launcher to work.

 

OK, Thank you *Smile In fact every other combination works, except the activation.^^ but i did find an other way, by deactivating it "manually" in the mouse options. I will try later to find this Launcher thing *Smile
