  1. Windows 10 Anniversary Edition removed touchpad settings


    1st time post,

    When I used my Surface 3 tablet for typing and had attached a WiFi mouse, the touchpad settings allowed me to disengage the keyboard's touchpad, freeing me from accidentally touching the touchpad while typing, (extremely useful with my butterfingers). I've noticed that the Mouse and Touchpad settings in the Anniversary Update have been greatly simplified to only one option for the touchpad. I really miss the option of being able to disengage the touchpad when an external mouse is detected. Can you bring it back?

    :)

  2. Mousepad stopped working, Asus ZenBook UX305

    Hi,

    I have an Asus Zenbook (delivered with windows 10, so no updates from earlier windows editions) and the mousepad has stopped working. The touchpad has been removed from my device manager and does not show a cursor or movement on the touchpad. When I plug
    in an external mouse this device does show a cursor and appears in the device manager list. I cannot find any touchpad settings as all of them pertain to the mouse. It seems that the touchpad has been removed from the system? Can anyone help?

    Thanks!

  4. Windows 10 Anniversary Edition removed touchpad settings

    Update,
    It must have been an anomaly. I restarted my Surface and, behold! all the options for the touchpad and mouse have returned, including disengaging it. I'm not sure what happened, but glad it is resolved.
