Filtering by `Class -eq 'HIDClass'` helps narrow down to input devices. ([stackoverflow.com](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60902335/disable-enable-completely-input-devices-mousekeyboardtouchpad-in-windows10?utm_source=openai))  \n- The `FriendlyName` property may vary by hardware/manufacturer (e.g. `\"ELAN TrackPoint Device\"` in some ThinkPads) so adjust the wildcards (`*trackpoint*`, `*touch*`, etc.) accordingly. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/1d4m09i?utm_source=openai))  \n- These commands must be run in an elevated PowerShell prompt (Run as Administrator).  \n- Some device drivers or firmware might prevent disabling via software. ([stackoverflow.com](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76724109/i-cant-disable-the-touchpad-by-using-disable-pnpdevice-powershell-command?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me your laptop model (e.g. Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, Dell XPS, etc.), I can provide exact `FriendlyName` matches so the commands work on your system."
