HP Pavilion - 17-ab273nd
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

First I had the option to disable my touchpad when I connect an external mouse. Since 2 update ago I lost that option.

The version of my touchpad is: 19.5.35.46 - 24-7-2019

Now I only see this:

Thank you, the problem with the mouse has now been resolved but I still cannot access the settings.

NO JOY. There is already a disableintPDFeature and I can't continue.

I'd suggest you back-up the data and try re-installing the operating system -

 

1. Shutdown the computer. 
2. Turn the computer back on again and repeatedly tap on the ESC until a Startup menu appears. 
3. Press F11 once for System Recovery. 
4. Choose the Keyboard Layout. 
5. Click on Troubleshoot. 
6. Go to Recovery Manager and click on System Recovery. 
Note : Back-up all your data as System Recovery will delete everything that you had saved or installed on the computer. 
 

Let me know.

i HAVE. THEY CHARGE ME AND COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. tHEY FINALLY REINSTALLED win 10 AND THEN i HAD TO REINSTALL OUTLOOK, MY BROWSER, AND ON AND ON.  AND the touchpad was never fixed.   

 

Think about this:

1. Synaptis makes the hardware and software.... sells it to HP

 

2. HP buys the touchpad with software and installs it in the HP Pavilion Notebook along with Windows10 made by Microsoft.

 

3. consumer purchases Computer with all installed. All is good.

4. Microsoft makes upgrages to the WIN 10 and now Synaptics touchpad fails to function as designed and original program disapears.

 

5. Consumer asks for help (That's me and many others.) from Microsoft. All the do is re-install WIN 10. NO Joy. call them back and they say to contact HP.

 

6. Call HP, pay for support. after hours of using my limited data, re-install Win 10 NO JOY.

 

7. Call HP back they say to contact Synaptics.

 

8. Call Synaptics and they won't help and say to contact HP and Microsoft.

 

9. Still try working with HP and now I'm told to contact HP support, the ones that charged me and couldn't fix it.

 

SEE A PATTERN ??? Upper management needs to contact me to discuss.  not planning on another HP in the future if this is what is to be the new norm.
