Windows 10: How to disable tap and drag feature?

There is a feature where you can tap the top of tab and drag it around to form a new window or just rearrange the order of the tabs in the browser. Is there any way to disable this feature?

Touchpad: Tap twice to drag

Here's how it works standardly:

1. Tap twice
2. Hold down on the second tap
3. Move around and you're dragging
4. Release finger to stop dragging

Here's what I like it to do:

1. Tap twice
2. Hold down on the second tap
3. Move around and you're dragging
4. Release finger
5. Reposition finger and continue dragging by flicking the touchpad some more
6. (repeat steps 4 & 5 as many times as desired)
7. Release finger and perform one addditional tap to stop dragging

That's what it used to be like in the Windows 7 era with most touchpads. Some people found it annoying and disabled it, but I welcomed it.

I know dragging continues when your finger reaches the touchpad edges, but that I find greatly irritating because it looses all sense of precision. This mechanism is stupendously irritating when trying to pixel-precise drag a trackbar, or when doing some
painting in photoshop on the go. Or just anything that requires precision.

So I'd like to disable "drag continues at touchpad edge" and enable "require additional tap to stop dragging".

So how can I do that?

If not possible, then please consider this a feature request.

 

Disabling tap to click in windows 10

Hello Gary,

In line with your concern, check if you can disable the Tap-to-click feature by performing the steps below:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Click on Personalization, then Themes.
3. Select Mouse pointer settings.
4. Then, click on the last tab called Device settings (might be different from other computers) and again on Settings.
5. A new window will pop-up with the Pointer options. Just uncheck Tapping.

Looking forward to your response.

Regards.
