Touchpad

[Jackdaw33]

When I was on W 8 my touchpad was disabled but since installing W 10 it has become active. Can anyone tell me how to disable it?

Click the notification icon bottom right near the clock
Click the All Settings tile
Click Devices
Click Touchpad

Thank you, all done.

I am now getting frustrated. I have managed to disable the touchpad but every time my computer goes to sleep or is shut down it is automatically re-enabled. Is this just a glitch with W 10?

I really don't know. You might find this thread interesting:

Thanks. Interesting. Not a big deal, it's just that when I lay something on my laptop it may alter the zoom which I have to restore. This didn't happen with W 8, once disabled, always disabled.

Yes, according to that link it has been fixed with a recent automatic W10 update. Maybe yours hasn't been updated yet.
Just remember to disable it every time you log in for now, using the Fn key or the taskbar icon

I only upgraded to W 10 yesterday. Anyway, no big deal. Thanks.
