turn off touch pad

Hi Brian,

You can disable Touch pad from the Device Manager. Make sure that the mouse is already plugged in before disabling the touch pad. To disable Touch pad, follow these steps:

• Press and hold Windows logo key + R.
• Type Devmgmt.msc in the Run command dialog box.
• Press Enter.
• Expand Mice and other pointing devices.
• Right-click on the first HID-compliant mouse entry.
• Select Disable.
• Hit Yes.

Let us know if you need additional assistance.

 

No option to turn off touch pad?

I recently updated my laptop, the trackpad on which has been blessedly disabled for two years, only to immediately find that it had somehow been activated. I cannot see that there is an option to simply disable it in options, just to make it less sensitive,
which doesn't appear to help at all. I tried uninstalling the software twice, only to restart my computer and see no change, I do not have a function key to turn it on or off, and all suggestions for others with this issue to suggest turning it off via the
hidden icons menu, which does not have an icon for touch pad settings or anything related on my laptop, or to turn it off in startup programs via task manager, where it also doesn't appear.

I've been at this for an hour and I'm about ready to just tape the damn thing over, suggestions?

 

Disable touch pad after installing Windows 10


I have a Synaptics touch pad on my HP Envy laptop. Prior to upgrading to Windows 10 if I went to mouse in the control panel there was a checkbox to check to disable the touch pad if a external mouse was detected. This worked fine. Now under Windows 10 I can still check the box to disable the touch pad but the setting does not stick and has to be rechecked after every reboot. Is there a way to get this setting to stick? There is no disable setting in the device manager for the Synaptics touch pad.
