Windows 10: Touchpad on the keyboard

I have a new HP laptop computer. On my old one, I could disable the touchpad mouse when an external mouse was connected to a USB device. I think it was one of the F keys but I can't remember now. I accidentally hit the touchpad occasionally and end up typing somewhere I didn't mean to, which is pretty annoying.

ASUS touchpad and keyboard problems

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I would recommend you to reset the drivers for your keyboard. To reset the drivers, please follow the following steps:

1. Right click on the start button and open Device Manager.
   
2. Under Keyboards, you will find Standard PS/2 Keyboard.
   
3. Right click on it and click on uninstall.
   

Then restart your computer which will reset the drivers.



Note: If you find multiple options under keyboards, uninstall the drivers for all the options listed (only under keyboards category) and restart your computer. Also you can follow the same steps to fix the issue with your touchpad
(if it still persist). Touchpad drivers will be posted under Mice and other pointing devices.





Hope it helps.
