I have connected an HP 'remote' mouse to my new HPEnvy which is competing with its own.

The 'external' mouse is stuttering along barely controllable. Can I turn off the HPEnvy's own pointer?

Hi @gbreist ,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand you are facing an issue with your HP 'remote' mouse. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

Yes, you can disable the touchpad on your HP Envy x360 to prevent it from conflicting with your external mouse. Here’s how:
 

Disable the Touchpad via Settings:

• Go to Settings > Bluetooth & devices.
• Select Touchpad from the list.
• Toggle the Touchpad switch to Off to disable it.

Using Device Manager:

• Press Win + X and select Device Manager.
• Expand Human Interface Devices or Mice and other pointing devices.
• Find your touchpad (it may be listed as an "HID-compliant touchpad" or "Synaptics/Elan touchpad").
• Right-click on the touchpad device and select Disable device.

Check for a Function Key:

• Some laptops have a keyboard shortcut to toggle the touchpad on and off. Look for a function key (often one of the F keys) with a touchpad icon. You can press Fn + that key to toggle the touchpad.

Once the touchpad is disabled, your external mouse should work without interference. Let me know if you run into any issues!
