    RE: how to turn off double clicking/tapping on touch pad


    I just got a new laptop and couldn't figure out how to turn off double clicking to open applications. Usually I've just gone into Synaptics or mouse settings and found it, but it's not there for this pc. I came in here to ask and saw that I'm not alone. I did not read every reply (129 of them), but the ones I did read weren't as helpful as they were meant to be.


    So...

    I went to my go-to for everything-- YouTube.


    Here's the answer if anyone else needs it.

    Open File Explorer (it's a little folder in my tray)>File (tab, top left)>Change folder and search options>General (tab). In the General tab is three things you can change. Double clicking is the second item, click the Single tap option>DONE.

    Very simple to do. On the video he clicks on "Options," in the File tab, but mine is "change folder and search options," so you'll choose whatever option tab your pc has.


    Or view the video:

  2. Touch pad and double click not working with windows 10 upgrade

    I have a 1 year old dell xps 13 laptop, which I recently upgraded to windows 10.

    Having following problems

    • Touch pad two finger scrolling not working
    • Touchpad double tap gesture not working
    • Display occasionally becomes hazy, almost unreadable, rebooting solves this temporarily, till it starts to act up again.
