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

Did you try pressing firmly on the corners as I suggested?
Capacitive charge build-up could stop a touchpad functioning. But there are different technologies:

Yes, that's hardware.

 

Precision touchpad not working

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand how difficult it could be, when the touchpad is not working. In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

• What is the Windows 10 version and Build installed? (Type
  winver in Windows search/Run command)
  
• What is the make and model of the PC?
  
• Does touchpad has a Synaptic/Elan driver?

However, we would suggest you to reinstall the touchpad driver.

1. Press Windows +X and select
   Device Manager.
   
2. Search and expand Mice and other pointing devices.
   
3. Right click on the listed driver one by one and select
   Uninstall device.
   
4. Check the box beside Delete the driver software for this device and click
   Ok.
   
5. Follow the onscreen steps and restart the PC.
   
6. Upon restart the touchpad driver should install automatically, in case it doesn’t install, then go to the manufacturer website and install the touchpad driver for this model.
