About this tag
The virtual touchpad is an on-screen tool in Windows 10 and Windows 11 that lets you control the mouse pointer without a physical touchpad, useful for touchscreen devices or as an alternative input method. In Windows 11, you enable it from Settings > Personalization > Taskbar by turning on Virtual Touchpad under system tray icons. In Windows 10, you use the taskbar's Show touchpad button option. Windows 10 support ended October 14, 2025. The feature was introduced in Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14965, allowing tablet users to control external monitors without a mouse. This niche feature highlights Windows' evolution toward a touch-aware interface while supporting diverse hardware configurations.
