Disable Laptop mouse/touchpad (Win 11)

[SgtMudd-AS-]

Sometimes while I'm gaming I'll tap the touchpad by accident and undesirable things happen, like minimize my game, switch to another program/app, etc. and closes my game. I found a way to easily disable it before gaming or to only have it enabled when a mouse is not plugged in:

• To disable the touchpad on your laptop, Windows 11 has a setting under Settings > Bluetooth & devices that allows you to disable the touchpad.
  
• Turn it on/off to disable/enable the touchpad.
  
• Uncheck 'Leave touchpad on when a mouse is connected' so it will auto-enable if you disconnect your mouse.
  

Now the touchpad will only work if you do not have a mouse connected!

Enjoy!
