    the synaptics drivers are for win 10 only, so i can't install it to click the little box that says "disable touchpad when a mouse is plugged in USB"

    is there a command line I can run or something?

    i run win 8.1 with WSUS offline updates because its 100x better than win 10 bloat crap

    edit: I went to device manager, [​IMG]

    but when I right click PS/2 option there is no disable option. the HIS one is my ROCCAT gaming mouse. so im assuming the PS/2 one is the touchpad... but it won't let me disable even direct in device manager. it does give me option to uninstall driver, which I did, but reboot it auto reinstalled it, so I am guessing this is a built in driver for touchpade direct in windows... since the official synpatic driver doesn't install

    That only increases max fan speed, I don't have control center from Clevo installed, that crap is a virus and messes up more than it works.

    Fn+1 is max fans. I'm talking about Fn+ F1. I don't have have CCC installed either and it works just fine for me.

    Oh I see! I tried it and it did not work. Dangit, you got me all excited for a second lol

    FN + F2 makes the screen go black, I use that one a lot too.

    You need Intel Serial IO driver and probably i2c driver for complete touchpad functions.

    This did not work either.

    Says my hardware is not supported.

    The FN + F1 was the best answer, the picture on my keyboard shows it being the touchpad disable as well. Weird part is, the FN + F row works on everything the pictures show for all the other FN keys lol.


    edit: it doesn't matter, I just will buy an external keyboard to go along with my USB mouse. :D that way no more issues. Clevo can sk it.

    Thats really odd. Those drivers are for Win 7/8.1.
