Could you have a hot key that disable it? Function F7 would do that for me

Is it a hp laptop?.....is there a little dot in the left hand right or left top corner of the touch pad? Press that for a few seconds and see if anything changes.

Not sure......try touching left and right hand top corners for a few seconds anyway. caught me out a while back, and that is what I needed to do. Good luck!

I used to have to double tap the top left corner of the touch-pad to disable/enable it, not a long hold...
