Windows 10: Touchpad not working when mouse is unplugged

I have a MSI GL75 laptop running the latest edition of Win10. I have a similar issue to:

Windows 10 always detecting a mouse, even when one is not connected

Which is locked. I have the "Leave touchpad on when mouse is connected" box unchecked in Settings>Devices>Touchpad. Turning off mouse or removing wireless dongle does not re-enable touchpad. I have to manually go in using keyboard shortcuts to enable this box to allow touchpad to be active if my mouse gets disconnected. I have tried the suggested fixes. Obviously, since my laptop is MSI not Dell that is not the issue. Did anyone ever find the fix for this issue?


I have to leave the touchpad disconnected when I game as the heel of my hand rests there when I game using WASD keys.

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?

 

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

Bump anyone got any suggestion on how to fix my problem? My touchpad not being on the mice and other poiting devices really bothers me, i think its malfunctioning and hi-jacking my mouse to function
