Windows 10: Touchpad Aggravating... Jumps All Over/New Windows/etc

Morning...

Bought 2 Lenovo IdeaPad L340's last year... one 15"; other 17" (not that it matters)... both have identical touchpad issue... basically... can NOT stop tap-to-click.

Did everything I can think of... most drastic being... deleted all SYNAPTIC REGISTRY entries... virgin re-install W10 Home (media creation download)... have managed to "kill" most touchpad "features" but NOT one I need to... simply want a touchpad to MOVE cursor and CLICK buttons.

Been thru LENOVO methods... downloaded various drivers... no luck. I, NOW, suspect it's the WINDOWS 10 "Synaptics HID DEVICE" and/or "I2C HID Device" (REGISTRY Human Interface Devices) and/or "Synaptics Pointing Device" (Mice and Other pointing devices in REGISTRY).

Anyone have ANY ideas??? Want a "stupid generic touchpad" that works like a ordinary mouse. As a (mostly touch typist)... my productivity is 99% degraded.

HELP!!

Thanks in advance,
Steve

ps: win10 x64 up-to-date

Windows 10 cursor jumping around

No, it's not aggravating, it's unusable.

• Touchfreeze sounded like a solution, but the touchpad was disabled. While tying this I've jumped around between three open screens.
• And I've got bullet points somehow .

 

I want to disable touchpad on Dell laptop


Hello everyone,
My laptop's touchpad works and I don't want it to, because I prefer a mouse. It's a Dell Inspiron 11 3000 series on windows 10 OS.

What I have tried that hasn't worked:

• start<settings<devices<mouse & touchpad<additional mouse options. This opens a window called Mouse Options which has 5 tabs up top, none of which involve the touchpad. The Hardware tab shows 2 devices: the mouse itself, and the USB. No touchpad there.
• windows key+x<mobility center. No touchpad to be found.
• various function keys. No options for touchpad on/off.
• device manager<mice and other pointing devices. Again, only the mouse and usb show up. It appears the touchpad is working without a driver, which is a little spooky.

Any other suggestions? I could try downloading a third party driver, but that seems like a step in the wrong direction.
Thanks
