How to Enable HP Pavilion g7 Touchpad When Using External Mouse

In this video, we'll show you how to keep your HP Pavilion g7 notebook's touchpad active even when an external mouse is connected. Many users experience their touchpad disabling automatically when they plug in a USB mouse, but this can be easily fixed with a few adjustments in the settings.
We start by demonstrating the issue: the touchpad works initially but gets disabled when an external pointing device is connected. You'll see a notification in the system tray indicating this change.
Next, we'll guide you through the process of changing the touchpad settings:
1. Open the Control Panel. You can access it directly from the desktop icon or search for it in the Start menu.
2. Navigate to the Mouse settings and find the tab for touchpad settings.
3. Look for the option "Disable internal pointing device when an external USB pointing device is attached" and uncheck it.
4. Apply the changes and close the Control Panel.
We also briefly mention how you can perform similar steps on Windows 10 or 11 by searching for touchpad settings via the Start menu.
By following these steps, you'll be able to use both the external mouse and the touchpad simultaneously, making your HP Pavilion g7 notebook more versatile and user-friendly.
