Windows 10: Cannot use my left click while typing (Synaptics driver)

Hi,

When I press a key, I can not use my left click at the same time, and I need to wait like 0,5s after releasing the key to be able to use the left click.

I guess it's some feature from Synaptics touchpad drivers. Unfortunately I do not have the Synaptics Control Panel app. I have some kind of control panel from Dell that allow me to change few features on my touchpad, but the one I'm looking for is definitely missing.

I also had a problem where my touchpad wouldn't let me move the cursor while pressing any key. Similar problem. I fixed it by changing some values on Regedit for Synaptics.

Do you know which value I need to change on Regedit to fix my left click problem ? Is there some options on Windows that would allow me to do the same, without touching anything to Synaptics ?

Thank you a lot in advance !


OS : Windows 10.0.15063 Build 15063
Laptop model : Alienware 17 R4
Synaptics driver version : 19.2.17.59 (up to date)


EDIT: Here is how looks like the panel I have where I can change few features about my touchpad :





Also, for those who would ask me to change a feature in "Mouse & Touchpad". I actually searched for it, It's not available for me.

Touchpad and keyboard malfunctioning

Yesterday (10-5-2015) I had a Synaptics touchpad update. Since then, my touchpad is out of control, delayed and cannot left click on boxes before they disappear. Keyboard has a delay and misses letter I typed. How do I fix these problems?

 

Touchpad's buttons not working

I have installed the driver on Synaptics website, for windows 10. There were two drivers, one said PS/2 so I assumed it was that one as it said on my computer "Synaptics ClickPad V9.1 on PS/2 Port". I can use
the left click somewhat, but it is very inconsistent and 99 times out of 100 it doesn't work. Also, right click still doesn't work.

 

After hours of browsing the internet, I FINALLY FOUND A SOLUTION <3 Omg I'm so happy.

Thanks to no one for help, I really appreciated *Biggrin (I'm joking, not mad *Smile)

IM HAPPYYYY

 

Well, sorry nobody got to ya. Just curious....was it Sticky Keys?

Posting the solution and marking it solved may help others down the road.

 

Hey,

It was a value I needed to change in the registry, I put you the post that helped me :

"Hit windows key+R, type "regedit" inside of it expand these folders: HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > PrecisionTouchPad
After clicking on the "PrecisionTouchPad" folder search for "AAPThreshold" on the right part of the window and double click it or right click it and click modify. Change the value from whatever it is (probably 2 or 3) to 0 and click OK. Restart you computer and it should work.
I guess that settings for synaptics touchpad are different in windows 10 from previous versions in a way that when you set smart sense to "min" it's still works but with a very small sensitivity (the value being 2 insted of 0, like it was in win 7/8)."

 

Dude! You totally helped me! I've been searching everywhere for a fix and I haven't been able to find it for month ;-: I made an account just so I could thank you

 

I spent hours searching for a solution to this problem and nothing I could find would work, until I found this post that is! I also had to make an account just to say thanks!
