  1. Left and right side of touchpad does not react to tapping after typing


    When you tap anywhere on the touchpad, it emits a left click. However after typing text on the keyboard, only the middle 50% of the touchpad can emit a click. Tapping on the left or right 25% has no effect. The sides can still move the mouse pointer, but tapping will not emit a left click. If you touch the middle 50% move the mouse pointer or tap, the two sides regain their tap to click ability.The same goes on with two-finger tapping. It emits a right click anywhere. However after typing, the two sides lose their two-finger tap to right click ability. They regain it after touching the middl

    Left-handed touchpad tap and double-tap is not working.

    I have gone to my mouse settings and switched it to being left-handed. I also made sure that "Switch primary and secondary buttons" is checked in the "additional mouse settings". The "touchpad settings" only has a sensitivity option.

    The buttons on the bottom of the touchpad have switched correctly, but now when I double-tap the touchpad to open something it acts as if I clicked the secondary button instead of opening what I clicked on and if I just tap it once nothing happens, so I have to actually click the bottom button to even switch tabs or X anything out. I tried switching it back to right-handed and that one works as it should, but on left-handed, the double-tap and single-tap response is still incorrect.

    How can I fix this?

    Touchpad Left- and Right-Click Not Working

    Hi Bill,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.



    Please answer the following question:

    Did you log in to the system using a standard user account or an administrator user account?

    In order to make changes in Device Manager you MUST be logged on as an administrator.

    After logging in to the administrator Account, I would suggest you first try updating the driver.

    Follow the steps to update the Touchpad drivers:


    • Press Windows key + X key and click Device Manager.

    • Find the relevant Touchpad driver and right click on it.

    • Select Properties and then go to the Driver Tab. Click Update.

    • Restart the computer and check.
    If this doesn't solve your problem, you have to uninstall and then reinstall your driver in compatibility mode.


    • Press Windows key + X key and click Device Manager.

    • Find the relevant Touchpad driver and right click on it.

    • Select Properties and then go to the Driver Tab. Click Uninstall.

    • Restart the computer and check.
    Now go to your manufacturer's website and re install the driver in compatibility mode.

    Hope this helps. Please respond if you have further related queries.

    Regards,
