How to disable the touchpad when using the mouse?

Hello

Please contact Microsoft Community.

Most laptops have a function key (FN) which can be used in combination with other keys for example FN + F2 or FN + F7 to disable or enable the touchpad.

You can also disable the touchpad in Device Manager.

To disable the touchpad in Device Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start.
  2. In the start search box type devmgmt.msc, and then on enter.
  3. In Device Manager, expand mice and other pointing devices and locate the touchpad.
  4. Right click on the touchpad and click on the disable option.

Following the steps above should help you disable the touchpad.

  • How can I disable the mouse pad when you use a mouse plug-and-play?

    How can I disable the mouse pad when you use a mouse plug-and-play? I tried to disable the driver, and nothing works.

    Hello

    Check with support of the manufacturer system, documentation online or forums that there is probably
    Shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

    Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with TouchPad entered)
    and some come with a utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock in the bottom right.

    ==========================================

    If necessary: (make sure that you have restarted at least once, if the above did not work)

    Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touchpad - the driver tab-
    Click on update driver (it comes may not do anything like MS is far behind the drivers of certification), now right CLICK
    on the TouchPad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in). RESET

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad from working.

    The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

    I hope this helps.

    Original title: disable the mouse linger

    How can I turn off this ridiculous mouse dwell.  It keeps jumping my cursor to anywhere where I got the slider when I started typing.  He also chose boxes when I do something else and not made a meticulous effort to put the cursor somewhere safe.  I have accidentally gone to several advertising sites and got a multitude of viruses the other day.  This "option" is a threat.  I have restored my driver and that he did not.

    Hi PatrickBoyle,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. You use the portable computer touchpad or mouse on the computer?
    3. You have security software installed on the computer?
    4. Where you can remove the infection by the virus of the computer?

    Method 1

    If you use a computer laptop touchpad, I suggest that you turn off and then connect the USB mouse to the computer and check if the problem persists.

    Check if the problem persists in safe mode.

  • Auto disable Synaptics Touchpad when USB mouse is connected

    Hello

    Someone at - it an idea how to move again the function "Auto Disable Synaptics Touchpad when USB mouse is connected.  I found an old entry in a forum that referenced changing a setting in the registry hex 33, and implied that this would make the OPTION become visible in the mouse settings in the control panel.  But it just seems to disable the touchpad while. So I guess that Synaptics have changed things since this 'solution' was published in 2009, I think. .

    I have W7 XPS and version 15.3.22.0 for Synaptics Touchpad driver.

    See you soon

    K.

    SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED!

    All - I read through it and many forums and have found no solution. I thought of it on my own, so I'm happy to share with you!

    This solution applies to those who do not have a touchpad disable button F button at the top of your keyboard and have the Synaptics driver which does not show the option to disable the touchpad when the external device is present. This also applies to those where the registry key update does not work (because it didn't for me).

    Here is the solution.

    1. go to the Dell site and get the latest driver for your touchpad. Install it.

    2. Once installed, go into c:\program files\synaptics\syntp in your windows Explorer.

    3. open the program called DellTpad.exe (there is also a DellTouchpad.exe called - do not use this one)

    4. Once opened, click on device settings.

    5 and here the old box is down! Just click to make it active and it works like a charm.

  • How can I disable the Mouse / touchpad - Lenovo, laptop XP pro SP3

    I want to disable the touchpad on a laptop Lenovo G530 with XP pro, SP3. 
    I always use a USB wireless mouse, but while I'm away from striking, the touchpad gets moved or dragged - send me to places that I don't want to be.

    I tried the mouse settings in the properties panel of design, uninstall the drivers of synoptic and software Manager (they have just reinstall at startup).

    I tried how hard (as usual). Please can someone tell me the simple way?  Thank you

    If you have the correct driver installed, Fn + F6 must disable the touchpad.

  • How can I disable the mouse pad? I prefer to use a mouse.

    The cushion is a nuisance especially when I try to type, perhps I catch it with my wrists, I don't know. I prefer to use a mouse.

    The 'quick and dirty' would be to cover the trackpad with something thick enough no pickup "taps" or "gestures". A card cut to tight should be thick enough, but I use a three thicknesses of sheet glued together and cut to tight in the trackpad to open (a corner cut so I can remove it when I have to use the trackpad). I did back in 2008 with an Acer laptop and now do it with my Asus EeePC 900 netbook; If I don't have the mouse with me (or the battery is dead - mouse USB wireless) I just remove the "cap" cardboard if I can use the trackpad.

    In addition, check with a Windows 7 support forum to find out how to disable this "device". This isn't really a problem of Firefox support.

    Hello Sexystephm,

    Thanks for posting on the Community Forums of Microsoft Vista.

    It should probably be shortened on your laptop keyboard to disable the touchpad (FN + F9). Also check in Control Panel, you should have an option to disable the touchpad of your laptop.

    However, if this has happened after I installed updates on your computer, you can try to restore the computer to an earlier date when you have been disable the touchpad.

    To perform a system restore, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose another restore point and then click Next.
    3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
    4. click on finish.
     
    The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

    Also, you can check with the computer manufacturer if they have additional settings to change or updated drivers to install.

    Hello

    I have a HP TouchSmart 600-1120 Desktop PC, and I want to disable the click of the scroll of the mouse wheel, so it only scrolls up and down and is not clickable. The click is so sensitive, it's difficult to scroll without accidentally clicking the wheel.

    I can't find the right Wizard or the controls for this. Can you tell me the driver please?

    Thank you

    Here are the specifications of your desktop HP TouchSmart 600-1120 According to the specification, this model left the factory with Windows 7 64 bit installed.

  • Disable the mouse pad

    I want to disable my mousepad on my computer dell laptop.  I can't find it anywhere... only the speed of our buttons of the mouse options.  I want to turn the mouse pad everything out, or unless you disable the option of tapping.  It drives me crazy.

    It is perhaps feasible through the Fn (next to the left shift key) key in combination with one of its F - keys, see the documentation for your laptop. You could also look in Control Panel-mouse for deactivation of plays and other functions (but maybe that's where you have already looked at). Finally, you could disable the touchpad in Device Manager.

    • Click Start
    • Click on run
    • Type devmgmt.msc and press enter

    To get help, if you need, let us know your Dell laptop model number.
