HP Pavilion 17-e-116dx - cannot disable the touchpad

Operating Windows 8.1.  I'm trying to disable the touchpad on the computer I just bought.  I normally use an external mouse, but even without that, the touchpad is uncomfortable when I type, causing the paper up and down on the screen.  I understand the touchpad doesn't have the feature of plays twice in the corner to turn it off, but there must be a way to avoid having my documents move wherever.   Is badly in need of help!

dmwvols,

Welcome to the HP Forum.

    Hello

    I agree with you: probably the driver for the touchpad has been cleared

    But there s no problem because you can download it from the official website of Toshiba:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    After installing the touchpad driver symbol in the taskbar should reappear and you should be able to turn off once again.

  • How to disable the touchpad in windows 8 - Pavilion g6

    How to disable the touchpad in windows 8 - Pavilion g6

    Welcome to the forum, Sally.

    There are several ways to do this - method you choose may depend on what you need to accomplish.

    Follow a few ideas.

    • A double tap farm in the upper left corner of the touch pad if it off for a single session.

    Enable / disable

    Control Panel > display icon > mouse > Settings of TouchPad > click on "enable TouchPad.

    They continue parameters to install and configure the TouchPad as you like it...

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

    A method that works with the pilots 'old', it is a failure of session by session...

    Make sure this setting is ON / CHECKED:

    Control Panel > display icon > mice > TouchPad [ClickPad] settings >

    () repeat) TouchPad settings (button) > click tapping >

    Click the shimmering blue wheel

    In "box to Disable TouchPad settings".

    CHECK "Double Tap to activate / disable the TouchPad.

    In the 'Action in the upper left'

    CHECK "Disable the TouchPad during a session.

    Close

    Ok


    NOTE that, if it is available on your version, you can select to "turn off the TouchPad" - that's fine, unless something goes wrong.  You could get stuck without your USB mouse AND no way to return to the setting to activate the touchpad.  I don't know if I would use this setting.

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

    Next...
    Latest drivers (V16.x) have the ability to disable the TouchPad / click on the keypad with a setting on the main page 'Settings' when a USB mouse is used.  This is a very nice feature.

    Control Panel > display icon > mice > TouchPad [ClickPad] settings >

    CHECK "disable the pointing device internal when the external USB pointing device is attached.

    If you want to be alerted and see a visual cue of disability >

    TICK "Animated icon in the taskbar" >

    and make sure you have your updated task bar notifications so you can see the view of the mouse.

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

    I hope this helps!

  • Try to disable the touchpad on my Satellite M115

    When I try to disable the touchpad on my M115 and go to Device Manager and click on the mouse, a screen will appear that says: "cannot connect to the Points of Synaptics driver.

    What's going on and how do I disable the touchpad?

    Hello

    You do not need to disable the touchpad in Device Manager.
    Either you use the combination of keys FN Fn + F9 to turn off the touchpad or you will do this in Control Panel.

    You can find the option in the control panel-> mouse-> last tab (device settings)
    It you should check the options such as properties or settings I'm not quite sure how it would be called in your case m

  • How to disable the Touchpad on Thinkpad X 301

    I use my touchpad and find that by accidentally touch, I delete large bodies of text typed in Gmail, irretrievable, on a regular basis.  It's REALLY frustrating.

    I tried the F8 function, which gives error message saying that ultranav Driver is not installed.  I try to install the driver and then it tells me that it cannot find the synaptics. ????

    Sorry, I'm not a technical interest, and I don't know what this means, but the problem is driving me CRAZY!

    I'll be very grateful to anyone who could hlpe disable me the touchpad... Please.

    Thank you

    MuddyOx

    Stop your X 301, then turn on. When the ThinkPad logo appears, immediately press F1 to enter in the
    The BIOS configuration utility. If your system has a set supervisor password then you will need to type it in demand.

    Use the cursor keys to navigate through the menus until you find the one that bears on the TouchPad. Toggle the active setting to disabled. Press ESC until you return to the main Menu. Now save the settings of the BIOS update, and then restart Windows.

    Make sure that you do not inadvertently to other BIOS settings.

    Here is a video showing how to exchange the Fn/CTRL but also to disable the touchpad. It's for the X230t but it must be the same or very similar to your X 301:

  • Disable the touchpad with mouse connected in Windows 7

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1420.  Recently walking from Vista to Windows 7.  In Vista, I had the Mouse/touchpad settings set to disable the touchpad when a USB mouse is connected.  Cannot find the menu/right screen now put back in Windows 7.  Cannot not even find any indication of a touchpad or software for this anywhere in the menus of the program or the material.  Don't want to permanently disable the touchpad, just at the moment where a mouse is connected. Looking for step by step instructions, please!

    Contact Dell and ask where you can get Windows 7 software support for the touchpad that is adapted to your laptop. Dell tells you, it is possible that software exist on the Synaptics or Alps support pages, but you need to know who of the touchpad is equipped...

  • How to disable the touchpad disabled?

    I just got this laptop and it's driving crazy me.

    I tap on the touchpad, and I touched the area where you can disable the touchpad about 1,000 times a day. No matter if I do what he says, I can't that faucet back on.

    I press the windows on my KB.  Type mouse into the search bar.  Tab and then arrow key over to reactivate and it's driving me crazy! I use this for business, but also personal use.

    I see you where you can disable the touchpad, I don't want that.  I want to disable the zone of the touchpad where you tap enable and disable.  It is a defect of design for me.

    Thanks for any help that can be provided.

    Hello stillrivers,

    I see you are having a problem with the touchpad does not disable. Did you by chance a look at the post which explains how to disable the touchpad?

    If you do not have by chance I'll re-post the answer here:

    To do this...

    Go to the control panel.

    ·         Go to mouse properties windows and click on device settings

    ·         Highlight the Synaptic Touchpad and click settings

    ·         In the properties of Synaptic Touchpad Windows on the left and the Panel you will see Touchpad Disable Zone, click it.

    ·         Uncheck the box 'double-tap to activate or disable the Touchpad'

    ·         Click OK

    If this does not work by chance, let me know. Also, if you have any questions please ask me.

  • How to disable the touchpad on my Tecra M10 - 10H?

    I just want to know if it is possible to disable the touchpad and is so, how, please?

    What I tried (which did not work):

    1. by pressing Fn + F9.

    2. go to "Mouse properties" and looking for an option to disable the touchpad it.

    After reading your ad, I must say that we don't know anything about your laptop.
    What operating system do you use?
    FN keys work or not in general?
    Is the driver for the touchpad that is installed or not?

    In my opinion, you must visit the download page of Toshiba on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp and install driver touchpad and additional package from Toshiba. After making this check please if FN + F9 works. If this isn't the case, you should be able to disable touchpad in the mouse properties. After installation of the Synaptics driver new additional tab will be added to the device settings, and you will find option toggle.
