Turn Off Touchpad on Windows 10

This instructable is very old and likely will not work for newer Windows 10 builds.

When I upgraded my OS to Windows 10 on my Asus laptop, I lost the ability to turn off my touchpad using fn+f9. I looked online for ways to help solve this issue with no success. Hopefully this will help anyone who is having similar problems.

Open the Task Manager

Open your task manager, ctrl+alt+del, or by searching for it.

Select Startup Options

Select the startup tab along the top.

Disable ETD Control Center

If you don't immediately see ETD Control Center, you can sort the programs by their status.

Disable it by either right clicking or pressing the button at the bottom right-hand corner.
