Product: Elitebook 8440p
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello 

 

Could someone please tell me how to disable the touchpad on my Elitebook 8440p.

When I go to settings all I can find is ´HID -mouse' and 'PS/2 compatible mouse'.

 

If there is a way ( and surely there is one ) I can't find it.

 

Regards

Peter.

 

P.S Even typing this was difficult.

If you have the Synaptics driver installed, the setting can be found in:

 

Settings -> Devices->Mouse->Additional mouse options

 

Or by WinKey+R -> type control and hit Enter -> Mouse

 

A relatively new driver can be found here:

Not 100% sure it's compatible with the old hardware.

 

Some Elitebooks also have a tiny active area on the top left part of the trackpad. Drivers permitting double tapping it quickly should turn the pad of or on (orange light should come on when disabled)

 

 

 

 

People are using their precious remaining lifetime to try and help, so it is common courtesy to come back and tell what the solution eventually was even if you found it elsewhere. It is for the benefit of everyone.
