Dell Touchpad is not disabled

Nolan Middlemas · Apr 28, 2014

I have a dell inspiron and I disabled my touch pad through the sticky-key (fn+f3) It shows my touchpad is disabled by a orange light at the top. It is orange but whenever I brush over it for the mouse, it continues to work.

go to
Control panel / Hardware and sound / Mouse/ device settings/ (there is a list of connected mice/devices) pick the internal mouse, and click disable. Follow same proces to re-enable if you have to.

The internal mouse choice has not popped up.

use the sticky key to "enable" the mouse and try again

Tried it and once again, no cigar

is there a checkbox that says" disable internal mouse when external usb device is attached" ? if there is, try checking it and re-plugging your mouse => automatically off
