Windows 10: Tapping Hell

Okay, I'm using a HP Pavilion Power laptop 15-cb0xx on Windows 10 with an internal Elan Clickpad, I'm not sure the model but the Hardware ID says ETD0731

It kinda happens randomly at times but Tapping (tap to click) turns on and is really REALLY annoying.. I extremely hate Tapping to click..

I go to the Elan device settings and it says that Tapping is off. I can reinstall, turn it on and off, and nothing changes.

After looking around, I've edited some reg values for disabled tapping but nope, nothing there either. No matter what I seam to do, Tapping to click is on.

Does anyone have any ideas what else I could try?

UPDATE: it's kinda getting worse.. only thing I can notice is there is a 'one finger click' option in the settings which clicks by just having your finger on the pad itself. this cannot be disabled via the elan settings. After this one-finger click, it says the 2 corner (bottom) buttons for left and right. Wonder if that stupid thing is something to do with it..

Supplementary information from the site:

Occasionally you may need play with different TAP-driver versions. In this case you can use devcon.exe from the Windows command-prompt. Below are some common commands you can run from an administrator Powershell
or cmd.exe console:

List available TAP-Windows adapters:

List network interfaces (incl. TAP-Windows adapters):

View information about an installed driver:

To verify TAP-driver removal:

Install a new TAP-driver:

Update a TAP-driver:

Notes:

• <id> refers to the driver identifier which is tap0901 for OpenVPN 2.2+, but may be different in older/newer OpenVPN versions.
• <something.inf> is typically OemWin2k.inf (old tap-drivers) or OemVista.inf (newer tap-drivers). You need to specify the full path to this file, e.g.C:\Program Files\TAP-Windows\driver\OemVista.inf.

By installing multiple times, you will create additional TAP-Windows adapter instances, which can be used for multiple concurrent VPN tunnels. It is also possible to install using Control Panel -> Add New Hardware,
and it is possible to uninstall using Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager.
