Hello @DXM09 

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

• Check and read this official HP article about instructions how to disable the touchpad >> https://support.hp.com/ie-en/document/c03882926

Follow the steps .

If the article does not help, ensure the driver version is correct.

There is only one correct version for your PC model and it is based on the Windows edition you use.

• Go to Start, type  winver  and open the application. Check the Windows version and build
• Go to Start, type Device Manager and open the application
• Find it and locate "Mice and other pointing devices". Expand the section
• Right click on the device (probably Synaptics) and choose to uninstall it
• Get the latest (correct) driver based on your Windows version - found in winver information

Hello IT_WinSec

Thank you for the help. i tried to reninstall the drivers as you instructed but to no luck. When i click on the additional mouse options i have the Mouse properties screen come up but my tabs stop at hardware. I do not have the touch style or touchpad tabs. i even tried installing  differant drivers from your links as well as staight from HP's page with no luck. I didnt get the recovery disk with this purchase and not sure i want to invest another $40 into this problem. i kept getting a pop up after windows install that synaptics control paneldid not install but i have not see anything else effected. could this be an issuse?

once again thank you for the help.
