Windows 10: Touchpad left click doing left click function randomly

This just started recently on a 5 yr old Asus laptop, the touchpad is a single flat part with no buttons

I restarted the pc and it was normal but then it just happened again, if i click the left button it does the right button function, right now if i simply tap the touchpad lightly without clicking i am able to get it to work fine

Im not really used to tapping it, i do press it, well just now as im typing i decided to press it and its working fine again, but i was looking for a way to prevent it from happening again

Touchpad Left- and Right-Click Not Working

After installing Windows 10 in a Toshiba laptop which had been running Windows 8.1, there is a cursor but the left- and right-click functions of the synaptic touchpad do not work. I have searched through the hardware and accessibility settings and all
appear correct. I have looked at uninstalling/reinstalling the touchpad driver in accessibility settings, but it is greyed out. Any suggestions on fixing this issue?

 

Left handed mouse when docked and right handed touchpad when undocked

Hi,

I realize that you want the left handed mouse when docked and right handed touchpad when undocked. I will try to help you with this issue.

• 
  What is the make and model of the computer?
  

You can configure the mouse settings for left hand and set the touchpad for normal use.

Follow these steps to configure the mouse settings:

• 
  Press Windows key + I to get the Settings screen.
  
• 
  Click on Devices and then click on Mouse and Touchpad.
  

Keep us informed to help you further.

Thank you.

 

Left right scroll function on touchpads no longer available?

My left and right scroll function with the use of 2 fingers on a touchpad have disappeared. I remember when I could select exactly what I wanted my touchpad to do using the Synaptics tab which used to be found in the Mouse properties window, but that disappeared
sometime last year.

How can I resume scrolling left and right with the use of 2 fingers on my touchpad? Mouse Settings has no such option. Mouse properties has no such tab for gestures anymore thanks to the removal of the Synaptics tab, which could be due to an update in the
driver, presumably to make sure it doesn't clash with the less functional Mouse Settings on Windows 10.

Does anyone have any idea which drivers or software I can use to solve this? Dragging a scroll bar on my laptop is not very convenient when I need to do it multiple times in a row, in between other operations.
