当您在笔记本电脑上键入内容时，它是否会让您发疯，并且光标会改变其位置，最重要的是会破坏您的注意力？好吧，当您在键盘上输入完整的流程时会发生这种情况，并且您不小心将手掌或手指刷过触摸板，这会导致光标偏离。这困扰了我很长时间，直到最近我决定摆脱这个阻碍我工作效率的问题。
在Windows 11/10中启用或禁用触摸板(Touchpad)
默认情况下， Windows(Windows) 11/10/8/7 会自动检测您的触摸板，并且要完全禁用您的触摸板，您将需要第三方软件。大多数主要和知名的笔记本电脑制造商，如联想(Lenovo)、华硕(Asus)、戴尔(Dell)、宏碁(Acer)、惠普等，都从第三方OEM供应商处获得笔记本电脑的触摸板。这些提供商在其网站上有一些官方驱动程序，您可以使用这些驱动程序在Windows中禁用触摸板。这些驱动程序可在此处获得。
上述链接中还提供了支持的操作系统列表。您做出选择，然后下载。
好的——当我工作时，我更喜欢在笔记本电脑上使用鼠标，而不是使用触摸板，所以它对我来说几乎没有用，尤其是在我打字的时候。因此，最好禁用笔记本电脑的触摸板。
以下是在 Windows 中禁用笔记本电脑触摸板的几种方法：
- 通过控制面板(Control Panel)禁用笔记本电脑触摸板
- 通过设备管理器(Device Manager)禁用笔记本电脑触摸板
- 通过免费软件(Freeware)禁用笔记本电脑触摸板

1]通过控制面板(Control Panel)禁用笔记本电脑触摸板(Disable Laptop Touchpad)
此选项适用于根本不使用触摸板的用户，因为这样他们可以一劳永逸地禁用它。对于只想在打字时禁用它的用户，可以使用下面讨论的免费软件。
通过控制面板(Control Panel)转到鼠标属性(Mouse Properties)。
如屏幕截图所示，有一个Touchpad选项，您可以在其中简单地关闭触摸板并保存(Save)。
如果您在“鼠标(Mouse) 属性(Properties)”菜单中没有看到此选项，则只能表示您的笔记本电脑上没有安装触摸板驱动程序。
起初，我也没有看到它，并从Dell.com下载了(Dell.com)Synaptics 触摸板驱动程序(Touchpad Driver)。（我正在使用Dell Inspiron 15），这完全解决了我的目的。安装驱动程序后，我可以从托盘图标访问禁用触摸板的选项，也可以通过我的键盘快捷方式 - Fn + F3（在我安装驱动程序之前无法使用）。因此(Therefore)，我建议您访问各自供应商的网站并下载触摸板驱动程序以获得永久解决方案。
