Windows 10: How to turn off “Tap to click” on touchpad, Windows 10 in 2021

All of these solutions on the Internet show a screen that has additional options that I do not have. I have seen other people ask a similar question, with no resolution. Please re-add the option to turn off “tap to click” so we can all get on with our lives. Who on earth is it hurting to just leave the option in there for those of us that hate it with an unbridled passion!?!

How do I disable Tapping on my Windows 10 Touchpad

Hi Ashley,

For you to turn off the tap-to-click feature on your Windows 10 touchpad, we recommend trying the steps below:

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

Let us know if that worked out for you.

 

turning off tapping on touchpad

After a windows update the touchpad on my laptop now uses tap to click. I've been through lots of mouse, pionter & touchpad settings but it will not give me the option to turn off tapping.

Can anyone come up with anything?

Thanks very much.

 

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.
