Windows 10: How to enable touchpad settings on a desktop computer

I am trying to get to the touchpad settings found on laptops, but instead on a desktop.


I have a Logitech K400 plus, which is a wireless keyboard with a touchpad. I use it when I am sitting in front of my TV, instead of my desk, so I don't have my regular keyboard and mouse. The keyboard works great, but there is one thing I would like to change. I want to be able to use one finger scrolling on the right edge of the touchpad. I know that Windows laptops have this option in the touchpad settings. The problem is that my desktop does not have these settings available. Is there a way to enable or otherwise add the Windows 10 touchpad settings menu to a desktop computer?


I also tried installing the Logitech settings application, but it does not have an options for one finger edge scrolling, just two finger.

I realize that it must be difficult for you when things are not working as it should. Sorry to know that you are facing this issue.

Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:

• 
  Did you make any changes to the pc prior to this issue?

A lot of Dell touchpads have an area at the top left of the pad which when double-tapped will toggle the touchpad On/Off.

Further, follow these steps to check if that helps:

• 
  In the Search box, type touchpad.
  
• 
  Touch or click Mouse & touchpad settings (System settings).
  
•

Note: When there is no Touchpad toggle look for Additional mouse options at the bottom of the page.
