you need to press enter after typing device manager into the search box!

Kevin,
Your instructions are not matching up with what is coming up on my computer.
Here is what I am doing.
Tapped the Windows key.
Typed in device manager.
Tab once.
Down arrow and I find, Toggle Menu, Home, Notebook, devices, settings, and
feedback.
I've tried Right/Left arrows, Tab, Shift+Tab, Space, Enter, and Applications
key (Fn+Right Control), and I cannot activate any of these items.
I also tried typing mice... into the Start Menu search field, and managed to
get myself to the hardware tab in the Mouse Properties dialog box. There
are 2 items in this list that are exactly the same. I could not do a single
thing with them. I did find 3 options for touchpad sensitivity, so I set it
to "Low" via a lot of hoop jumping to get JAWS to read the changes I made.
Thanks,
Annette

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Touchpad is Turned Back On
Hi All,
Is there anyone who recently found that their laptop touchpad was turned
back on? I am using a Dell Latitude 5440 running Windows10 and JAWS2018. I
think 2 nights ago there was some type of updates made to my laptop, and the
next morning when I booted up the laptop I found that the touchpad was
turned back on. Turning it off is a bit of a challange that I have not
found a way to concore. There is no longer a short cut key as there has
been in the past on the Dell Latudes. JAWS is unable to read the dialog box
for turning the touchpad off. Does anyone have any suggestions besides
seeking sighted help to turn the touch pad off?
Thanks,
Annette
