Windows 10: Windows automatically turns on three finger tap after update.

I am a avid user of the two finger scroll option on my Synaptics touchpad, but now that I have upgraded to Windows 10 it is getting increasingly harder to use it due to the search bar popping up. It mistakes my 2 finger scroll for a 3 finger tap and it became annoying. So I ended up turning off three finger tap in the mouse options. Simple enough, now here's the problem. Every time I turn off my computer or laptop and then turn it back on, an update shows up and Windows turns it back on again! Anyone having the same problem? Would love to get to the bottom of this and turn off three finger tap search for good. *Mad

Is it Cortana popping up in the left hand corner???

Turn off the three finger tap gesture under the Settings. A three finger tap can be configured to either bring up the search box or the action centre where notifications are.

I know it's a month later. I had a similar issue until a few moments ago when I turned off three finger flick and three and four finger tap in my trackpad config.

My trackpad for whatever reason often thinks I have more fingers down than I think I do and two finger scrolling often turned into three finger flick, or tap, but not always, so it seemed pretty random.

Don't know if this was your particular problem, but I found this page looking to fix mine.
