Cannot turn off the Touchpad on my HP Laptop 15-bs0xx 1EH10AV

[aus1c]

I am unable to turn off my Touchpad on my laptop.  I do not have an on/off button for the Touchpad.  Double clicking in the upper left corner of the Touchpad does not turn it off or on.  So I have followed more advice to open the Mouse Settings and select "Additional Mouse Options".

There is no Touchpad tab.

I tried opening the Touchpad Settings.

There is no toggle switch to turn the Touchpad off.

I tried selecting the Synaptics SMBus TouchPad Properties.

There is no way to Disable Device.

I tried Uninstall Device, but it was reinstalled when I rebooted.

Can someone tell me what I need to do to permanently disable the Touchpad?

Thanks!
