Mousepad always active after sleep

[KarolR]

I have Lenovo ideapad s400. i disable the mouse pad with the button on the F functions row, but it keeps becoming active after sleep.
I didn't see an entry for mousepad in device manager

It should be under Mice and other pointing devices.
If you find it right click and disable it

 

[KarolR]

Under Mice and other pointing devices there are only 2 entries:
Logitech HID compliant ...
PS/2 compatible mouse

 

[Megahertz07]

Try to disable one at a time.
Try first Logitech HID compliant ...

 

[KarolR]

But i installed the Logitech driver, i guess it's for the USB mouse

 

[Megahertz07]

So try the PS/2 compatible mouse.

I am afraid to disable the mouse and then i won't be able to restore

You have two pointing devices and you want to disable the mouse pad.
You said that you have a Logitech mouse. So it should be the other.
If you disable the wrong one you still have the mouse pad to undo.

Uninstall the Touchpad driver and reinstall the driver in Windows 7 compatibility mode:

b) Press Windows and x key together and select Device Manager.
c) Locate the touchpad driver.
d) Right click on the Touchpad driver icon and click on Uninstall.
e) Open the folder that contains the latest driver setup file that you have downloaded.
f) Right click on the setup file and select Properties.
g) Click on Compatibility tab.
h) Check the box which states “Run this program in compatibility mode for”.
i) Select Windows 7 from the drop down list.
j) Click on OK.
k) Follow the onscreen instructions to install the driver in Compatibility Mode..

There is no Disable option on the P\S mouse so i uninstalled it, but it reinstalled after restart. i disabled the Logitech mouse and disabled the USB mouse, not the touchpad.
I don't see on the services list any with the name touchpad or pointing device.
Is it a feature of Win 7 or Lenovo?

@ KarolR. have a look at these Lenovo websites for how to disable the Touchpad. It looks like pressing F6 on the hot keys along the top of the keyboard should enable or disable the Touchpad.

How to enable and disable the touchpad - ideapad 100 - Lenovo Support

The owners manual PDF can be seen here.

I know but i want to disable it permanently. in the instructions it says:
"If you reboot or resume from hibernation/sleep mode or enter Windows, TouchPad will be enabled automatically. Repeat the above steps to disable it. "
I have to disable it each time again

Does hitting F6 disable the Touchpad, if it does it's only a case of hitting F6 after waking the computer to disable it again.

The setting is in Lenovo Utilites, not any others setting &or drivers.

Most Laptop manufacturer do include its own utilities &or settings, as it do not use Windows drivers, etc.

Usually it do not follow the Windows drivers, especially.

That is why it include all its own drivers in their website.

Manufacturer Utilities is for most components, beside the mouse pad, sound & etc.

If you never use it then just disable it in the BIOS. That's what I did on my ASUS laptop since I absolutely hate the built in trackpad.

 

[KarolR]

In the BIOS of my Lenovo i don't find it

 

[profdlp]

Try this:

Go to your BIOS then to "config" tab -> keyboard/mouse -> set Touch Pad to disabled.

It's very strange you don't find it under Device Manager. Maybe by Synaptics?
