How to disable the Touchpad in Windows 10 

Thank you so much! Being able to disable the touchpad is very important, but it was taking me a while to figure it out until I saw you video.

as the owner of a rowdy orange cat, I can't tell you how useful this has been for me. Thanks. 🙂

start menu > type Device manager > look for Human Interface Devices - choose Compliant Touch Pad - find Driver menu - select Disable Device

These are great suggestions. Operating systems can be different depending on version. Similarly, if you're using Windows 10 Pro, In your laptop's bottom left screen "Type here to search"; Search: “Touchpad” Then on the right side of the results: Under “Related settings”, click on “Additional settings” This brings up “Mouse Properties”. Click on “Advanced”, and click on “Advanced feature settings” This brings up “Advanced feature settings” Click on the “Others” tab. You’ll see “USB mouse connection”. Click on the box beside “Touch Pad is automatically invalidated” That will stop the touch pad from working.

Your the best I looked through 25 videos about updating drivers and the function F7 fixed everything

F7 nor Function + F7 worked on HP Pavilion Notebook. Disabling the internal pointing device worked immediately. Thanks for the answer that will increase my productivity on this little stinker of a notebook. 🙃

Few things are more annoying than writing a huge blog post only to accidently hit this thing and erase the whole post. Thanks for the help.

thank you so much people like you need awards. im not good at all with computers but im trying to learn and you helped me out alot today.

Thank you so much brother. Know my laptop touch ped is working. Gratitude ❤ keep shinning. Stay blessed.

Thank you I've tried everything else Nothing worked. I finally got it disabled after your video.

This was the best solution so far! Thanks.

Thanks a lot! I use an actual mouse, so accidentally swiping my hand over the touchpad while playing games etc. is quite annoying. I subbed!

Any thoughts on how I can deactivate my touchpad if neither the F7 key nor the touchpad menu works?

thanks for sharing amazing tips ... Function + F7 is working fine for me and its very short tip

Cheers Chris this solved my problem :)

THANK YOU , my little daughter disabled the touch pad and I was navigating with difficulty it bcz I don't have a mouse until I found this video ♥

Thank you so much, this was very helpful

Thanks it totally worked

Just lost 15 minutes work due to accidentally touching the touchpad while typing. Sadly, none of the suggestions made are available on my Windows 10 laptop. Best way of disabling the touchpad appears to be a hammer. Also, I'm intending to change to Linux before too much longer. Windows is a pain in the arse these days.

Your video worked wonders thank you a million times

so for some reason my touchpad was triggering ctrl buttons and by disabling it (something i struggeled for a long time) doesnt glitch anymore, thanks

What do I do if I don’t have the click pad settings options on the “additional settings” tab

Legend. Did it.

I've been trying to disable the touchpad for some time now. Nothing seems to work. I don't have the option to disable touchpad when mouse is plugged in.

Thanks it helped a lot

Thanks for your kind informational video

Thanks you so much and nicely to understand

when i click additional settings i only have "buttons, pointers, pointer options, wheel, or hardware" and nothing else what can i do?
