Product: HP Pavilian 15-cs0053cl
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a HP Pavilion 15-cs0053cl. with windows 10 home. I had my touchpad disabled since I write a lot on the laptop and my hands brush the touchpad and move the cursor and change where I am typing at. My laptop did some kind of update yesterday 7/11/2020 an re-enabled the touch pad.  Everything I have looked for on line doesn't seem to work, or isn't the same as what they say. I go to the properties and disable the touchpad, or even delete the thing in device manager, and the computer reboots, and when it reboots it is still working. A lot of guides talk about double tapping the touchpad, and an orange light, I don't have that. I see no disable button on the keyboard, no disable button in the settings in control panel. Nothing seems to turn this thing off.

How do I get this thing disabled without physically opening up the case and pulling out the wire that plugs it in?

Addendum in the Device manager I think it is called a ELAN Clickpad

I looked at that, and it didn't show an update yesterday when my touchpad was reset. So I am still confuzzled at what happened to reactivate it again.
