Windows 10: Disabling Palmcheck

So I just reset my PC a few days ago and it changed everything to default. When trying to disable Palmcheck after the reset, I wasn't able to actually find where to disable it. I tried doing it the same way I did it before, which is going to Mouse properties and going to device settings, however the Device settings didn't show up in mouse properties and I haven't been able to find any other way to disable Palmcheck and everything online tells me to do it the way I knew how, but I can't do it because the Device settings tab isn't there. Please help

Turn off Palmcheck/touchpad delay after typing

Hi Alex,

PalmCheck Feature has the ability to distinguish between an accidental touch of the touchpad with the palm and an intentional brushing of the touchpad. Windows has left every scope of personalization and customization with device settings and so, turning PalmCheck
OFF, although not a good idea, still can be implemented. First thing we suggest is to run the troubleshooter. To perform the task, kindly follow the steps provided by
AndreePin on this
link.

For any concern, don't hesitate to get back to us.

Regards.

 

PalmCheck won't disable


I just recently got the Windows 10 update from Windows 8, and found that changing my settings doesn't seem to work like it should.

The best example of this that I can find is that even when I disable PalmCheck in this window:





and save the settings, I still won't be able to move the mouse while typing at all. Does anyone else have problems with this and/or know how to fix it?
