![]() ![]() The nice thing about a Custom Image is that it is “customized” to your installed programs.In " Top Left Action" (UN)CHECK "Switch TouchPad off"Ĭonsider making a complete Custom Image made before you make changes on your Windows 8 computer: Windows key + X > P > Mouse >Tab TouchPad / ClickPad Settings > TouchPad Settings > TouchPad can be Disabled / Enabled within the TouchPad Settings.(UN) CHECK " Disable internal pointing device when external USB pointing device is attached" Windows key + X > P > Mouse > Tab TouchPad / ClickPad Settings > TouchPad can be Disabled /Enabled while an external mouse is connected.There are two main ways in which a TouchPad is Disabled / Enabled. If the TouchPad has become disabled, in most cases you can enable it. You best served with an external mouse for the next part. If there is a hardware problem the Power Reset will not work. If the issue is more than just entanglement, if the "good instructions" on the computer are not good enough - that is, you need an update, a new driver, or there is a problem that cannot be "untangled", then the Reset will not work. The Reset drains out the old program instructions from the memory and forces the computer go to the on disk Operating System to get new instructions. Your data and programs remain as they were before the reset was applied. The Power Reset does not install anything on your computer, the Power / Hard Reset does not remove programs or personal data from your computer, and the Power Reset does not change the settings on your computer. Why a Power Reset works to fix some issues: If the driver INSTRUCTIONS are tangled, messed up, or there are bits missing from those instructions, then the Reset may fix the problem. ![]() If the driver software on disk is incorrect or if the driver software is corrupt, it will still be incorrect or corrupted after the Reset.This procedure does not wipe out your files nor does it destroy your Windows setup in any way. ![]() This is a Driver Reset this is NOT the Windows 8 Reset that installs the Operating System. It assumes all the drivers on your computer belong there. The Power Reset cannot tell the difference between drivers - it does not analyze a driver before applying it. The TouchPad / MousePad may just be disabled or it could be "stuck".įirst, Try a Power Reset in case it is "stuck": TouchPad Settings > Tapping > Under " Top Left Action" > SELECT Switch TouchPad Offĭisable TouchPad ONLY when external Mouse is connectedĬHECK " Disable internal pointing device when external USB pointing device is attached" UNCHECKED > OK Make sure that " Disable internal pointing device when external USB pointing device is attached" is UNCHECKED > Windows key + X > P (opens the Control Panel) > Mouse > Select Tab TouchPad / ClickPad Settings > NOTE that there is also a setting in the same window ( Top Left Action) that lets you shut off the TouchPad for one session - this is considered a bit safer you do have to reboot the system to again enable the TouchPad functionality. WARNING: You should consider that permanently switching off the TouchPad can have side effects – that is, if you must have an external, working mouse connected: Shutting off the TouchPad could leave you stranded with only the on screen keyboard to manipulate your cursor and that assumes you can get to the on screen keyboard without any cursor control.
