    How to disable Hover-Select in Windows 10

    I have recently replaced my laptop computer with a Dell running Windows 10. I am getting totally frustrated with a cursor that unpredictably jumps all over the screen and with having all sorts of thinks happen any time the cursor pauses. If I cannot find
    an answer to this I am going to seriously
    consider getting a Macintosh.

    My ease of access center does not include:

    • "Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck

      Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse."

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver software. In typing this I have had the cursor jump in excess of 24 times! HELP

    select hover disable

    How do I stop hover select? I have researched the question here, but the promoted answer is not available on my version. When I go into Settings, there is nothing about hover select.

    How to disable Hover-Select in Windows 10

    Those for whom the above does not work may open Synaptics, go to "Device Settings" and uncheck "Enable Tapping" ("One finger tap generates a left click"). Some touchpads may be too sensitive so that when you inattentively leave fingers on the pad a tap
    and thus a left click is generated. Mine is a Lenovo too. Now works well.
