TouchPad disabled on HP EliteBook laptop

Touchpad disabled and Pointer not working on HP EliteBook laptop.

If your touchpad is not working and you see orange light on touchpad, it means your touchpad has been disabled.

You may have disabled accidently by hitting corner of touchpad twice. You need external mouse to do below steps or you can use keyboard on HP Elite book and middle round button

Follow below steps to enable touchpad again

-->  Click Start and go to control panel

2--> Make sure View By Large Icon is selected under control page top right hand side corner

-->  Double click on Mouse icon to open it

--> Go to Device settings and make sure all devices are enabled.

-->  If any device says Enabled NO then select that device and click Enable

-->   Now click Apply and Click OK

-->  Your mouse pad should work now


Now it is your turn to help. Please have your comments below.
