HP laptop - 15-af151sa: cannot disable TouchPad

I just bought this laptop and find the TouchPad is interfering with my typing.  As I prefer to use my mouse I would turn off the Touchpad altogether but I can't know how for this model of laptop so please advise.

Hello

You could try the next option.

Open windows control panel and on the top right, next to the display by: select "large icons".  The new layout, select the entry for the mouse and then select the tab 'Settings ClickPad'.

Enter a check mark against "Disable pointing device internal when the external USB pointing device is attached" - see image below - then click on apply then Ok to save the change.

Kind regards

  • Portege R830 - cannot disable touchpad

    Hello, strange question. But can not turn off the touchpad on a Portégé R830 (Windows 7 32 bit). I've seen this problem on two of the machines I have. This has never been a problem for the models Tecra I got, M5, M9, M10, M11, etc. R840.

    I have the latest driver installed Alps, from Toshiba.co.uk. I tried the button on the touchpad, it does not work. The device of the Alps can be disabled in the Device Manager. I tried the Toucpad of the State system, Advanced tab, toolbar properties Advanced settings. It doesn't have a single parameter «Disable touchpad» There is no option to disable the touchpad when you use a USB mouse - however, this does not work.

    Can anyone help with this? The only other option I can think of is the BIOS, but it would be inappropriate to my users, who may want to turn it back on it at a certain point during execution of Windows.

    Hi liamw,

    You can disable the touchpad if you press the FN + F9 key combination. The touchpad will be disabled until you press this combination of keys again, but a mouse external isn t touched. That means you can still use a same USB touchpad mouse is disabled with FN + F9 key combination.

    Check this box!

  • Cannot disable Touchpad on Windows 7.

    I am running Windows 7 and I want to disable the touchpad. When I try to disable it in Device Manager, the option 'Disable' is not clickable. When I try 'Delete' option, it says I have to restart my computer to apply the changes, but after that I restarted my computer, the Touchpad is still active.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I got an even hard to disable touchpad, and I had the problem in this way. If possible, connect an external mouse into a USB port, then open the Touchpad control properties tab and look for a framework written something like this: disable the Touchpad when an external mouse is detected.

    Go back to Device Manager, and then try to disable the Touchpad. As an external mouse is already connected so I have a registered pointing device, Windows would let me disable the Touchpad without reinstalling on the next reboot.

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

    Kind regards

  • Equium L300 - cannot disable touchpad Vista Help

    I know my little laptop is a little dated now, but I just had to have a new HDD and redo everything.

    Since then I was able to disable the touchpad.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello

    I guess that you can not use the FN + F9 options. Right?
    This means that you have not installed the driver for the touchpad and / or the VAP (value added package).

    Do it to get the keys FN working again.

  • Cannot disable Touchpad on the Satellite A200-13O

    Hello, have a Satellite A200-13O, I got a USB mouse, and when it is connected I need it TouchPad.
    So I try to disable it by FN + F9, but it does not work.

    Any idea? I really need to solve this problem.

  • Satellite A350 - cannot disable Touchpad

    Hello

    I bought my new computer A350 laptop 3-4 weeks ago and I'm loving the sound QUALITY!

    In any case, I want to disable the mouse pad, but I can't. I have the guid of the user on my laptop, that says: Touchpad: by pressing FN + F9 toggles the function of touch pad. Unfortunately it does not work! When I press it nothing happens, I don't see a change in the touchpad icon, which apparently, so well done must have a big red X or something like that, but again, this does not happen.

    I also looked at the properties of the mouse of my mouse, and when I select the Advanced tab, then move the settings of the feature..., under the touch pad settings, there is no option to disable that is extremely strange. There is another button of parameters for what can I press on, but there is no option to turn it off.

    What should I do to disbale the touchpad, because at the time of writing these, pressing FN + F9 does not work?

    > Hi, thanks for the response. I am running Windows vista Service Pack 1 Home Premium that was already installed when I bought it. I don't know if I'm running the factory settings, nor have I ever heard of this?

    If you use the operating system preinstalled by Toshiba, then you use Notepad with the settings ;)

    In your case I would recommend reinstalling the touchpad driver; Synaptics and Alps Electric.
    In addition, there is a utility called tool Support Flash Cards.
    This module is an essential component of Windows systems and it is necessary to other original programs for TOSHIBA to work properly.

    The relocation of the VAP (value added package) is also recommended.

  • HP Envy 15 laptop: cannot disable secure boot

    I want to install Linux.  Windows 8.1 is a horrible operating system for a computer.

    I need to disable startup secure in the BIOS.

    I have the BIOS verion F.42 since March 2015.

    CAN I change the simple options such as the time of the machine. But if I turn on legacy mode or disable the startup secure that they do not change on a restart. I use F10 to save the changes, but when restart values are not changed.

    I tried to restore the default settings of the BIOS and then make my change. That did not help.

    In some online forums, he says I want to see a message from the BIOS on BIOS change and whether or not to accept them. I don't see this message.

    I will return the computer if I cannot disable secure boot

    I was able to disable secure boot and install Debian Linux.

    My problem was arrested connects. Apparently active mode of inheritance does not work unless you disable secure first boot.

    Secure boot just disabling "doesn't".

    Just enabling legacy mode "doesn't".

    I had to disable secure boot and THEN enable the traditional way. That stuck and both remained in the way I did.

    Even if the GUI * said * secure boot is disabled when you enable the traditional way, I still need to disable secure first boot.

    After this change, I saw a message from the BIOS on the "changes of BIOS and to accept them or not.

  • Disable touchpad HP Envy 17

    I have exactly the same problem you have posted... Do you have a solution?  There is no 'mouse' or "Point Touch Control Pad" with a disable to kill the touchpad.  I am thinking to resort to disassemble the laptop and unplug the cable that plugs into the touchpad itself.  I also deleted the synaptic touch pad (Windows 7) device driver and did not help.

    I'm pretty sure that remove the cable from the touch pad will fix the problem, but it is a fairly long process... 20 with respect to and then if I still wanted to sell the laptop, I would probably have to plug the cable back in again for someone else.

    Please help, Dave

    I've done what I suggested above to remove the flat cable for the touchpad disable touchpad and it worked very well.   I removed the two ends and folded cable where HP had folded it and scotch taped it to the system board next to the connector where it plugs IO on the system board so that someone will be able to put it back in if I never sold it.  On the plug, it has a little fitting valve rubber to flip upward to allow you to remove the cable at both ends.  I don't have any errors saying that it was not connected.  After the cable has been removed it simply does not work which is exactly what I wanted.    Problem solved.
