  1. Can't move the pointer while clicking on the touchpad button


    Recently, I asked a Question link because I couldn't type and use the touchpad at the same time and got that solved.

    With that, I tried to play some videogame and found out that I can't move and click on the touchpad button at the same time... What can I do?


    The "Synaptics Pointing Device" is 19.5.10.141 17/05/2019

      options from the list.

    • Click Next to run the
