How do I switch off my mousepad?

[WendyM2]

I've been trying to find a way to temporarily disable my touch pad as it's super sensitive (despite being set to low sensitivity) and I keep catching it while I'm typing. But it seems that it's not possible, as every way suggested either doesn't work or the images shown don't match what I see. I eventually gave up and decided to uninstall it completely. But even that won't work! It won't uninstall! I'm getting very frustrated. Please help. Thank you.

I have gone through your Post and would like to help

We could try disabling the Touchpad from the Registry.

Open the Registry Editor by clicking Start and type Regedit and click on Registry Editor in the List.

 Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/Elantech/Othersetting/DisableWhenDetectUSBMousekey and change the value from 0 to 1. 

Keep me posted how it goes
