Windows 8 update: Touchscreen mode without touchscreen

Windows 8 update: Touchscreen mode without touchscreen
I've got this really weird thing going on with my PC the past few days, I have to keep system restoring my PC back a few days because it keeps trying to install a buggy update. My PC has no touch screen capacities but this update is making my PC think it does and my mouse cursor keeps vanishing from sight. I can still click things but I can't see it. I know its on touchscreen mode because there's a small keypad symbol on my toolbar.

Does anyone have a clue what I might have going on here or how I can keep my PC from updating to stop this? I'm hopeless with anything beyond Microsoft office really. Thanks.

I can't load an update, forget which one it is, but just trying to do it messes up my laptop. I think we are seeing signs of bigger craptacular fubars to come.

There is a reason why windows 7 is still being sold on new computers.

Just go into the windows update settings and stop it from installing updates automatically.
Hopefully in a few days, there'll be a fix for it ...You'll need to check on the net for resolution.

My Droid RazrM is screwed up too. It's an 'early' production model and the software update a year ago was an unhappy experience. A subsequent 'patch' made it worse. Verizon is happy to get me a new phone. I get caught up a little, I'll do it. Considering Apple 5S . .

Get the iPhone 6. The 5 is too tiny.

FSM Grin Thanks, hadn't any idea where to poke around. Hopefully that keeps it down for now!

Never, ever let Windows install updates for you without reviewing them. It's a good way to get bad things on your computer.
