I keep accidentally turning off my touch pad on my HP computer.

Somehow I keep accidentally turning off my touch pad on my computer. There is no indicator light so I have no idea how to turn it back on and there is no one way that works all of the time. Is there anyway that I can just turn off that option on my touchpad?

Hi,

Normally, double-tapping the top left corner of the touchpad will toggle it On/Off.

If required, you can disable this feature as follows.

Open windows Control Panel and in the top right, next to View by: select 'Large Icons'.  From the new layout, select the Synaptics entry.

Click on the entry 'Tapping', just to highlight it and then select the 'Setting Cog' that appears to the right.

In the following window, remove the checkmark against 'Double-tap to Enable Or Disable Touchpad' - see the image below. 

Select on Close in this window, then select Apply and Ok in the previous window to save this setting.
