  1. Touchpad not working - mouse drivers nowhere to be seen


    I woke my HP Pavillion 15 up from sleep mode to find that my mouse courser had disappeared. Initially my touchpad was still in my settings yet nothing was working. I tried a few online solutions, to no avail. I restarted my laptop and upon restarting, in device manager suddenly my mouse settings aren't there. Im getting to grips with keyboard shortcuts, but this is extremely irriating and I don't understand how to get my touchpad working again!

    Thanks in advance 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

    Mouse and touchpad not working

    Hey did exactly what you suggested and the first time i did it the mouse cursor became visible, it was at the center of the screen but i still couldnt make it move with the touchpad and i plugged in my usb mouse and that doesnt work too. I did it a few moret times but cursor never showed up again and still could make either the touchpad or the mouse to work. Do you have anymore suggestion?
