Windows 10: Touch sensitivity

Is there a way in Windows 11 to set desired touchpad pressure? If so, I can't find it. There is a setting for "touchpad sensitivity" but that appears to mean scroll sensitivity, e.g., how far the cursor moves for a given amount of finger swipe on the pad, not the touch pressure or force sensitivity latest Windows 11 build on Acer Aspire 5.

how can I reduce the touchscreen sensitivity on windows 10?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. Let me assist you.

I suggest you to try the below steps to adjust the touch sensitivity of the system.

Pen and Touch settings:

• Type Pen and Touch in the Search bar.
• Go to Pen and Touch settings.
• Depending on your device, you may see a variety of tabs, such as
  Pen Options, Flicks, or Touch.
• You can adjust the sensitivity of your touch device by adjusting sliders located in these tabs. For example, to adjust the sensitivity of a double-tap on your touch device, on the
  Touch tab, tap Double-tap, and then tap
  Settings.
• Drag the sliders to change the sensitivity. You can test your new settings by double-tapping the graphic at the bottom of window.

Calibrate the touch display:

• Type Calibrate on the Search bar.
• Tap on Calibrate the screen for pen or touch input.
• Select the Calibrate button, and follow the tool’s instructions.

Note: Cleaning the screen can improve touch sensitivity. Most PC manufacturers recommend turning off the PC and using a microfiber cloth, available at most electronic stores.

Any barriers between your fingers and the display, including gloves, a protective case, sheet or film, or even water or lotion on your hands, can also impair touch sensitivity. If any of these conditions apply to you, try testing the device without
such conditions.

Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

 

touchpad sensitivity

Hi Joobster,

When you mean Touchpad sensitivity, are you referring to the pointer speed of your touchpad? Or are you referring to the touch/pressure sensitivity of your touchpad whenever to press your fingers on your touchpad?

If you are referring to the pointer speed, you may follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + R on your keyboard.
• Type "main.cpl" and hit enter.
• Click Pointer Options.
• Under Motion, select the pointer speed you wanted for your touchpad.

Regarding the Touch/pressure sensitivity, then you will need to contact your PC manufacturer to assist you on installing the right drivers for your touchpad.

Let us know how it goes.
