  1. Touchpad Freezes/Touchpad opens Start Menu when I don't want it to.


    Hello,

    #1 For some reason my touchpad on my HP 15 (2015 model with 8.1, now upgraded to Windows 10 1511) freezes. I hate that when it happens, you cant use it for 20 or 30 seconds or so. I close my lid and open it back up and it works normal, but then after a little bit it starts doing it again. My driver is up to date, I think it maybe Synaptics? If I need to give more info, please say! *Smile

    #2: When I scroll on my touchpad up words it opens the start menu every so often when I am scrolling a lot, but when I didn't even open or even get near it or press Windows key. What is causing this? I hate it when it does this and screws up my readings then it stops scrolling and focuses more on the start menu then I have to click out of the menu and go back to what ever I was doing.

    Thanks! *Smile

    :)

    Pressing the Touchpad

    When I press on the touchpad, it does not act as a click.

    If I tap the touchpad it works, but I want it to click when I push on the touchpad.

    How do I make it so that pushing on the touchpad represents a click instead of opening up the start menu?

  3. Awwww, no more quick desktop resizing?

    How very strange...I'm using a Dell Inspiron 5567 laptop that is pretty new, but I don't see and 'Dell Touchpad Settings' despite being on the very menu you are on.
