Windows 10: Windows update, touchpad sensitivity issue

I use MSI gaming laptop running Windows 10 an after installing Windows 10 update on the gaming laptop, I am facing an issue with my touchpad. This is a sensitivity issue because my finger is always moving much faster than the pointer. I tried to uninstall and reinstall drivers. I also tried to find some settings I hadn’t been aware of before. Nothing helps. But when I use an external mouse, everything works without problems.

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.
