Windows 10: TouchPad Freezes when Not In Use

The touch Pad pointer freezes when I don't use the touch pad for a while , and again continues normally after 2 to 3 rubs on touch pad, Any idea why ? And how could I solve it ?

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

 

TouchPad problem

see attached screenshot of the keys after I re ran the scan

so i assume next steps are to have that program open that you suggested whilst using the laptop and then when the touchpad gets disabled to check if the keys have changed?

Hi,



Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community Forums.



As you have mentioned that it was fixed previously by updating the drivers, the issue appears to be with the device driver or the hardware component, I would suggest to look into the Lenovo community thread below where the issue has been discussed
in detail.

I would also suggest to check if there are any updates available for the system firmware (BIOS) and the touchpad firmware as mentioned in the link above.

cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.
