Windows 10: Windows 11 Dell Laptop Nothing will open

Update occurred, now when I try to open anything on my Dell laptop, things will open for a few seconds and then immediately shut down. Have restarted and shut down several times. What can I do?

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

Using the Print Screen Key in Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 8

• To capture the entire screen:
  Press the Windows logo key + PrntScrn key together.
  On tablets, press the Windows logo button + the volume down button together. (The screenshot is saved in the Screenshots folder in the Pictures folder.)
  

• To capture all active windows:
  Press the PrntScrn key.
  

• To capture a single active window:
  Tap or click on the window you want to capture.
  Press the Alt + PrntScrn keys together.
  

Fine but Pictures > Screen Shots does not exit on either of my two DEll Windows 11 laptops; where else could screen shots be stored?
