Can't disable the trackpad on a MacBook Pro in Bootcamp

Tried disabling the "apple multitouch" in Device manager, downloaded a couple programs, and looked in bootcamp control panel for a touchpad tab but no luck. Any help?

disable trackpad on MacBook Pro 2010 High Sierra 10.13 I want to disable the trackpad and cannot find how to do it. Online articles suggest going to the accessibility panel and checking a box to disable trackpad. There is no box like this on High Sierra. Also suggested that you disable trackpad by enabling mouse keys, but then the keyboard does not work.

Disable TouchBar While in Boot Camp. On my MacBook Pro 2020 (Intel) I set up a BootCamp partition for Windows 10 to play the odd game that isn't available on MacOS & want to know if there is anyway of disabling the Touch Bar. I've heard about issues of screen burn-in on the Touch Bar and want to avoid this. On macOS, it seems to automatically turn off the Touch Bar when I open an application that doesn't need it. The settings I have on Mac OS are below. I have looked all around the internet for answers to this question but can't seem to find any. I have tried removing the Touch Bar from device manager within Windows 10 but it doesn't seem to work. If anyone can find the solution, I would be incredibly grateful as I really am stuck with this one. Many Thanks Alex.

turn trackpad off/on MacBook I want to be able to turn off the trackpad quickly, instead of going to: System Preferences/Accessibility/Pointer Control. Is there any way to create a shortcut for this?

Turns out that option was always on, but it hasn't fixed the problem.

What do you mean by BT, and what driver? The trackpad driver?

Checked all three BT drivers and none needed updates.

We need to check Advanced Properties.

This bluetooth device? It's the only one that refers to Apple in it's name. "Apple broadcom built-in bluetooth". I don't know what's safe to release in this thread.
