    Unable to disable touchpad in windows 10


    When typing after installing Windows 10, the cursor keeps jumping whenever the keyboard touchpad is touched. In Windows 7 there was a utility to turn off the touchpad. It needs to be available in Windows 10. Is there currently a means for disabling the touchpad?

    :)

  2. Unable to disable touchpad in Windows 10

    Hi,

    I would suggest you to try uninstalling the touchpad driver by following the steps below and check if it helps:

    1. Press Windows key + R to open the run command.

    2. Type devmgmt.msc and press enter.

    3. Expand mice and other pointing devices.

    4. Right click on the touchpad driver and uninstall
    it.

    5. Restart the system.

    After uninstalling the touchpad driver and restart the computer, it will automatically re-install generic touchpad driver. However, you can disable the touchpad option from device manager.
