how to permanently disable touchpad

[LeonardoFabbro]

is it possible to permanently disable the touchpad?

You can disable the touchpad through software/driver but the only way to completely disable it is by unplugging it from the motherboard.  Not all computers can do this as some combine the touchpad and keyboard into one connector.

I am a blind person , other notebook brands have the function key to disable touch or can disable by bios. This series HP G6 has nothing of this. incredible this discrimination of us blind

Try double tapping the top left corner of the touchpad.

tried but nothing happens

then the only other way is to disable it through the control panel.

Hi LeonardoFabbro,

The easiest method to disabling the trackpad is:

1. In search, type "Mouse Settings"
2. On that page, find "Additional Mouse Options"
3. Then find the "Clickpad Settings" tab
4. You'll find Clickpad Disable/Enable

Hope this answers your question,

kem579 , works for the session started but when pc restarted the touchpad returns to work.

Do you use an external mouse when you use the computer?  if so then there is an option to disable the touchpad when an external input device is being used.  (AKA USB Mouse, Bluetooth Mouse, etc.)

Yeah try disabling the trackpad when you have an external USB pointing device plugged in.

This can be done by:

1. Search Mouse Settings
2. Find Additional mouse options
3. Then on the Clickpad Settings Tab, you'll see "Disable internal pointing device when external USB pointing device is attached"

This should do the trick.
