A large part of Windows 10 users use the operating system on a laptop. Although we have a touchpad in the laptop, a large part of the users connect a mouse to the device. Therefore, when using a mouse, they prefer that the touchpad does not work. The operating system gives us the ability to disable this touchpad.
So that If we use a mouse on our Windows 10 laptop, we don't have to worry about the touchpad go to work. Below we show you the steps to follow in order to achieve this.
While using a mouse, it is common for us to inadvertently press on the touchpad and move the cursor. Something that can be annoying for many. But Windows 10 has thought about this, because they give us a native function that allows us to make the touchpad not work.
First of all we must go to Windows 10 settings. Once inside, we must go to the devices section. We get a new screen with a menu on the left. In this menu we must select the option called «Mouse». This is the section in which we find the option that we must modify.
We have to go to the option called Keep the touch panel activated when a mouse is connected and activate it. This function may not work for you, in this case, you must go to additional mouse options that comes out on the right side. A box will open where you have to look for a section called "Disable the internal pointing device when connecting an external USB pointing device" and mark it.
We give him to accept and with this the process would have ended. In this way, the next time we connect a mouse to our Windows 10 laptop, the touchpad will be disabled while the mouse is connected. Which will make its use more comfortable for us.
