      enter.
    • Click on Hardware and sound.

  4. Reverse clicks on touchpad

    Fast click on touchpad does't work/

    Hi,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    As I understand that you were unable to fast click on the touchpad, we regret for the inconvenience.

    For better assistance could you please let us know more information about the issue:

    1. What is the model number of the system?

    2. Are you referring to the right-click button on the touchpad or two finger right-click tap?

    3. Are you aware of any changes made on the PC prior to this issue?

    This issue may occur if the touchpad drivers are outdated or corrupted.

    Follow these methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Hardware and Devices troubleshooter :

    I suggest you to run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter.


    • Press Windows Key + R, type Control Panel.

    • Type Troubleshooting in the search bar, click on Troubleshooting.

    • Click on Hardware and Sound, click on Hardware and Devices.

    • Follow the steps from the wizard to run the Troubleshooter.

    Method 2: Update the Touchpad Driver:

    You may check with the touchpad settings to see if that helps. Then I suggest you to update the drivers to check if that helps.

    Update the Touchpad Driver.


    • Press Windows + x
      key together and select Device Manager.

    • Locate the Touchpad Driver.

    • Right click on the
      Touchpad Driver
      icon and click on “Update Driver Software”.

    • Click on “Search Automatically for Updated Driver Software” option.
    Please refer to the below article “How to: Install and Update drivers in Windows 10”by Mr. Andre Da Costa to update the drivers:

    How to: Install and Update Hardware Drivers in Windows 10

    Method 3: Uninstall and reinstall the driver:



    If that does not help, uninstall and reinstall the touchpad drivers and check.

    Follow these steps to update the drivers for Touchpad. You may also check for drivers using Windows Update. If issue still persists, download touchpad drivers from the manufacture’s website.

    You must be logged on as an administrator to perform these steps.

    • Open Device Manager by pressing Windows key + X, clicking
      Device Manager.‌ If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    • In Device Manager, under Mice and other pointing device, double-click on the device.
    • Click the Driver tab, and then click
      Uninstall driver and follow the instructions.
    Now, download and install the touchpad driver from manufacture’s website.

    I also suggest you to install any pending Windows updates on the pc to check if that helps. Updates are additions to software that can help prevent or fix problems, improve how your computer works, or enhance your computing
    experience.

    Windows Update may have updated drivers available that may be relevant to your current issue. Many times, updated drivers are listed in the "Optional" section of Windows Update.

    Hope the information helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.
