Windows 10: Touchpad settings Windows 11

I recently upgraded to a new HP laptop from a 2018 HP laptop. Both have the same Elan touchpad. However, the 2018, running Windows 10, had many more touchpad options for scrolling and such. The Windows 11 setup only allows two finger scrolling at a predetermined speed. This seems ridiculous to me, and HP says it's a Windows 11 limitation. I would like to adjust scrolling on my touchpad, both speed and sensitivity. Is there an updated driver that works with Windows 11? The ETD Properties in the Microsoft Store does not work.

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
