Windows 10: Windows Start Menu Pops up When Using Touchpad

I'm using a Lenovo Legion y720 with Windows 10 64-bit.


Often, when I'm being lazy and using the touchpad with two hands for speed (one finger for moving and one finger for clicking in the bottom left of the touchpad), I find that the cursor hops down to the start menu in the lower left corner of the screen and opens it up.


I've checked my settings for multi-finger touch/clicks and the only thing I can find is the a two-finger click will open the popup menu (equivalent of right-clicking).


I can't seem to find anything related to why it would drag the cursor down to the start menu and pop it up.


I also can't seem to replicate this intentionally, it only happens (of course) when I don't want it to. It's super annoying and I can't figure this out.


Wondering if anyone else has seen this or experienced this.


Thanks in advance,

I have a Dell laptop Inspiron M731R. Since upgrading to Windows 10 I find that I am unable to disable the touchpad.

Hello,

• How are you trying to disable touchpad?

I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if this helps.

• Click Start.
• Type device manager into the Search box. Click the device manager result, and the Device Manager window will pop up.
• Expand Mice and other pointing devices.
• Right-click the touchpad's entry. In the menu that pops up, click Disable.
• Confirm your choice in the pop-up window.

Kindly let us know the status of the issue to assist you further.

Thank You.

 

Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
What do you think?

 

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
