Windows 10: Touchpad on HP laptop disappear after windows update. version 19043

I had similar problem before, after windows update, touchpad would not work on my hp envy. Last time I was able to fix it by updating/reinstalling the driver. This time it disappeared from device manager completely, there is no option for mice/touchpad. Hp support site have no drivers compatible with this version 19043.1348. Unistalling windows updates does nothing. Driver straight from synaptics site gives error, that newer version of driver is installed. HELP please I'm lost

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
