I cannot get the clickpad disabled on my spectre laptop, any other options?

[Mikeydc65]

The touchpad is so sensitive that I cannot use the keyboard without it causing issues. I would rather use a mouse.  I want to completely disable the touchpad, but havent been able to do so. I have followed multiple suggestions to disable but it has not disabled the device.

Welcome to HP support community.

Provide the notebook model number or the product number?

Meanwhile:

1. Search Windows for TouchPad.

   From the results list click TouchPad settings.

2. Click Additional settings.

   

3. To disable the touchpad when using a USB mouse, check Disable external pointing device when external USB pointing device is attached.

   

4. Under Tray Icon, select if and how the touchpad icon is displayed in the taskbar.
