your touchpad on your windows 10 laptop using the settings within windows it's really easy to
do i'm going to be doing this on a lenovo laptop today if you're using a different brand of laptop
it should be very similar but it might be a little bit different you should be able to figure it out
with this tutorial so let's jump right over to my computer here and show you exactly how it's done
all right so here we are on my windows 10 laptop currently my touchpad is disabled
and i'm going to use my keyboard to enable it to help those of you out who are trying to enable
it with just a keyboard if you do have a mouse this is going to be a whole lot easier for you
but we're going to use our keyboard today so the first thing you need to do
is go ahead and click on your start menu in the bottom left-hand corner again if you're using your
keyboard just go ahead and click on the windows button on your keyboard that's going to load up
the start menu for you and we want to make sure we're in the search bar there at the bottom so
to get to the search bar if you're not on it already just go ahead and click on the tab button
that's going to move your cursor around until you get to the search bar there at the bottom
and once it's in the search bar you can go ahead and start typing in touchpad the word touchpad
you don't even need to type in the whole thing you can just type in touch and we want to make
sure that the option that says touchpad settings is selected so use your tab button
to go around the screen again until touchpad settings is highlighted then you can click on
that or hit enter and that's going to load up the touchpad settings for you now from here we want
to open up the additional settings so again click tab on your keyboard until additional settings on
the right hand side is selected or of course if you're using a mouse you can just click on that
and just hit enter and that's going to load up the mouse properties for us now again we can hit
tab on this screen and if you're not seeing device settings selected we want to make sure that is
selected so make sure that there's a dotted line around device settings and you can use the arrows
on your keyboard to move around and select device settings now once device settings is selected
you can use your tab button and you're going to see what just turned blue there is the devices
that are enabled or disabled so under my touchpad under enabled it currently says no we want to turn
that to yes so down right below it you're going to see an option that says enable once that is
highlighted you can get there with your tab button just go ahead and hit enter and now you can see
right above it it says yes next to my touchpad and my touchpad should start working which it has done
now if you're trying to disable your touchpad you can just go ahead and click on disable here
and it's going to give you a warning and we hit ok and now all of a sudden my touchpad stopped
working again so again click tab to go to enable hit enter and it should start working again for
you now one thing before you exit this area we may need to make sure we click on apply here
so it applies that setting then we can go ahead and hit ok and exit and it should continue to
work for you and it's really that easy to enable and disable your touchpad on your windows laptop
