    How do I turn off point to select


    Some how on this one PC windows 10 point to select is enabled. How do I turn it off? In file explorer I have check the options and it is set to double click. I can not even select the single click option. It is greyed out and won't let me select it.

    :)

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    Turning off clickpad/touchpad when another pointing device is present

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    This issue can occur due to corrupted/incompatible display drivers on the computer. So I would like you to follow the steps:



    I suggest you to update the graphics card drivers/display drivers from manufacturer website and check if it resolves the issue.


    • Open Device Manager

    • Expand ‘Display Adapter’.

    • Locate the Mice and other pointing drivers.

    • Right-click on the display card listed and click on ‘Update Driver Software’

      If issue still persists, I would suggest you to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if it works.

      Follow the steps provided below to install the drivers in compatibility mode:
    • Right-click on the driver setup file and click on ‘properties’.
    • Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for” and select operating system from the drop down.
    • Click on ‘Apply’ and click ‘OK’ and run the file to install it.
    Let us know the status of the issue.

    Thanks.
