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

 

Windows has started unmuting sound on bootup.

Have you tried this?:

1. Open Control Panel.
2. Click on Hardware and sound.
3. Click the Change system sounds link
   Uncheck startup sound
   
   
   
   

 

Touchpad not functioning following upgrade to windows 10

Following my recent upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 8, the touchpad on my HP Envy dv7 laptop stopped working. If I go into the device and hardware folder in settings, there is no option for touchpad available. It is as if the touchpad does not exist.
I am able to use an attached mouse to navigate, but would like to have a functioning touchpad. Any suggestions?
