I dont know if this is Windows 10 or my little sister, but I cant be bothered to update to W11 and I dont think my PC is either, but my display turned. F9 + FN doesnt work, how can I turn off my touch pad Asus. In doing so it wasted my time and probably a few others with its errors and bluescreens. So I have no idea why Asus tossed out Synaptics for Elantech. It also worked after uninstalling ATKOSD2, ATK Generic Function Service, and bloatware 'Synaptics Gesture Suite featuring SYNAPTICS | Scrybe' (version 1.0). So I went to Drivers | Synaptics and downloaded the most up to date driver which is currently version 15.2.20.0 and to see if that fixes my issue regardless of it being identical of the previous version. So I was looking through my screenshot programs that were installed on my previous drive and found out that instead of the recommended Elantech Touchpad Driver, it was Synaptics Pointing Device Driver (Version 14.0.1.1).

Preemptive TL DR - Don't always take for granted the drivers that are given to you by your laptop's manufacture. But my Fn+F9 still doesn't work though.Īlthough unpreferred, the option to manually disable this touchpad in the device manage -> device properties is greyed out as well.Īm I missing a crucial Asus/ATK program/driver that controls the touchpad hotkey? All my drivers/programs where downloaded from ASUS - Notebooks- ASUS G60Jx The device is formally called 'ELAN PS/2 Port Input Device' btw. Luckly, I tried installing Version 7.0.5.16 from the Asus website where it installed with no apparent hiccups. Unfortunately, this was blue-screening my computer the moment I used the touchpad after the install. It was called 'Elantech Touchpad Driver' with Version 7.0.5.9. This way, the touchscreen of the device can be used to track the fingers'. While the function key command was still not responding with the generic touchpad driver from Windows, I decided to install the touchpad driver given to me from the Asus website. Installing the driver ATK0100 ACPI UTILITY (Version 1043.2.15.75) and the program ATK Hotkey (Version ) allowed me to utilize all the Fn keys EXCEPT Fn+F9 which is to disable/enable the touchpad.įor good measure, I installed the program ATK Generic Function Service (Version ) and the program ATKOSD2 (Version ) which both did not seem to help. The Fn keys did not work at all at first which was expected. Go into control panel > at the top right you should see a search box > type device manager into it > open device manager > click on mouse and other pointing devices > right click on the touch pad and click disable. All my laptop's Fn keys were working as expected until I did a clean install on a new drive.
