Windows 10: Turn off track pad when mouse is present

just running the by everyone. I'm configuring a dell inspiration 13 7368, I have been unable to turn off the trackpad. No options seem to be available in either control panel or setting/trackpad or settings/mouse. and no trackpad software. although the trackpad works great. I just need to turn it off to be able to type.
I've updated to 1809 xxxxxx.195. Has anyone else noticed the loss of this setting? or know where the setting moved too.
Not getting much help on the Dell forum. Using a Logitech MX 2 wireless

nextBook track pad not working

24 weeks ago the track-pad on my nextbook broke. Since then I have updated to windows 10 and recently reinstalled windows 10 in the hopes that it was a driver problem. The f6 button dosen't work at the track pad is completely un-responsive. A external
mouse works, but I would really like the track-pad to work again. The nextbook is about 1 1/2 years old. Untill 24 weeks ago, the track-pad worked fine.
