Windows 10: Drag and right click not working on Dell XPS

Bought a Dell XPS 9305 about 18 months agoRecently been having problems with the touchpad/mouseintermittently the touchpad and mouse completely stop workingWhen this happens, I am able to get the touchpad and left mouse button to work again by updating the driver or uninstalling the mouse and then restarting my computerHowever I can't get the right-click button to work, and the drag function doesn't work ie. I can't highlight anything, can't drag and drop, can't change the size of windows, can't move things around my screen.

Dell XPS 15 9560: missing drag lock for touchpad

System: Dell XPS 15 9560, WIndows 10 Home

When using the touchpad, I like to be able to perform multiple drag operations, without having to double-tap to invoke the drag operation each time I lift my finger. For the last 15+ years there has always been an option called "drag lock", that allows
the drag to operate as follows:

• The drag operation is invoked by double-tapping on a draggable object
• The object is moved by sliding one's finger
• If one's finger is lifted, the drag operation will NOT terminate, and more drag operations are possible
• The drag operation is terminated by another double-tap

I simply can't find an option for drag lock in the Windows 10 touchpad settings. Please PLEASE tell me there is some way to enable this feature!
