To enable or disable your touchpad, there are a few options.

  1. In the search box, type mouse.
  2. Now look at the search results. If you see Mouse Properties or Mouse, click on it. Otherwise, click on Mouse & Touchpad settings
  3. Click on Additional Mouse Options. Depending on the model, the menu may have a different layout.
  • On a ThinkPad, you will see a tab named UltraNav or ThinkPad. You will have to either check or uncheck the Enable TouchPad checkbox, or select Use TrackPoint Only from a drop-down list.
  • On a Lenovo or IdeaPad laptop, the tab may be named Device Settings or show the brand name of the touchpad, and the button will be named Enable/Disable or Start/Stop device.

Some Lenovo and IdeaPads, along with some ThinkPads, also have a dedicated keyboard shortcut to enable or disable the touchpad. Check your laptop user guide. If all this did not work for you, you may still have two options.

  • The first is that you can disable the touchpad driver. Click on the Hardware tab, select the touchpad, click on Properties, and then Change settings. Click on the Driver tab and finally, click on Disable.
  • On some models you can also disable the touchpad in the BIOS. Check the user guide on how to enter the BIOS and find the touchpad options in the Config menu.
