December 25, 20169 yr I just got my daughter a new laptop. I've never used windows 10 and I have encountered a very annoying issue. Everytime we click the touchpad a search box pops up in the left side of the screen. I've noticed when using a mouse this doesn't happen so it seems to be an issue with the touchpad. I have no idea how to correct this issue, but figured that somebody on here would be able to assist. Thanks.
December 25, 20169 yr Windows 10? She must have been really naughty this year. A lump of coal would have been nicer to her.
December 26, 20169 yr Author I think it's Windows 10. That's the current release isn't it. Couldn't afford a Mac and decided that Chromebooks wouldn't suit her needs.

Don't let anyone tell you different. Can you give me more information, or more pictures so I can see what's going on? Is it Cortana? You can easily disable Cortana.

You can easily disable Cortana. I don't think that it is just Cortana, any press of the touchpad brings up the search box that I put in the picture above. It only happens with the touch pad and not when you click with a mouse or the touchscreen. (It's a 2 n 1 type laptop) If I hadn't bought her a mouse, I'm not sure we would be able to do anything. One finger tab on the touchpad brings up the search box a second tap takes the box away.
