Need to restart touchpad using just keyboard.

Hi everyone. I made a mistake on a Toshiba laptop. I turned off the touchpad in Device Settings. Now the touchpad is dead & I don't have a mouse to navigate with. I need to restart the touchpad without the use of any mouse. Is there a way to navigate in Mouse Properties to Device Settings to restart the touchpad?

hi well you could use the tab and arrow keys and the enter button to navigate to device manager.

Cannot change mouse settings from device manager.

I can get to Mouse Properties but cannot navigate to Device Settings where I can turn mouse back on. Can this be done with some combo of keyboard & arrows?

yes it can be done using the shift key and F10 key to use it as a right click.

on some toshiba laptops you can use the FN + F9 to enable disable the touchpad but need to know your model of laptop.

You can try a System Restore System Restore. Or also be able to connect a USB mouse and change device settings

Thanks for the suggestions. I was able to open Mouse Properties & navigate to Device Settings by using Shift + Tab & arrow keys to check Touchpad back on & Save before exiting. This solved my issue.

That's good to hear
