I cannot configure my touch pad. The problem started a week to 10 days ago, probably after an update. The symptoms are that the tapping function is extremely sensitive so the behaviour is very difficult. I frequently accidentally select windows or blocks of text and then drag them to another location.

The last time we discussed touchpads on Windows 10 laptops, it was to disable the touchpad automatically when an external pointing device such as a mouse is connected. It was pretty simple unless you happen to have a Synaptics touchpad. Today, we'll discuss something even simpler, with the same purpose, but a different situation. Maybe you don't have a mouse connected to your laptop but the big touchpad isn't so big at palm rejection as it should be. It can create problems while typing. It would be really nice then if Windows could automatically disable the touchpad while typing.
As we mentioned the last time, most laptops do come with a dedicated key or at least a key combination to disable the touchpad when needed. Even if it doesn't, it can be disabled in the Mouse Settings via software. But turning it off while typing only to then need it for a bit, open a new tab, look at the source material, or anything else, can be a major pain. When everything is smart these days, it wouldn't be bad if Windows got a bit smart and disabled it automatically when a user types, and enable it when the typing stops.
Just bought the HP Spectre x3dx (13' convertible Laptop), and have updated the BIOS and windows 10. I always disable the 'tap to click' feature of the laptop, but everytime i restart the laptop, the tap to click reenables itself. I've tried to create a profile in.
I have a new spin 5 (Spin SP515-51GN) and I cannot find where to disable the tap to click on the touchpad in windows 10. In my old Lenovo Yoga I had to go to advanced mouse settings and select synaptic touch pad and do it there, but the Acer spin 5 just has a generic hid mouse driver for the touch pad and that does not have any such setting.
Turn Off Touchpad Tapping Windows 10 DownloadAutomatically Disable Touchpad on Windows 10Turn Off Touchpad Tapping Windows 10 AppWindows 10 can do that actually, although it's not quite clearly labeled as such anywhere within the OS. If you look around, you may never find the option to disable the touchpad while typing on your own. And here's how to do it.
Turn Off Touchpad Tapping Windows 10 Windows 10Launch the Settings app.
Navigate to Devices > Touchpad. 
On the right, under the Taps section is a drop-down menu labeled Touchpadsensitivity.
On the drop-down menu, select the option Low sensitivity. Selecting this sensitivity level completely disables the touchpad while typing. If that's not what you want, you can select Mediumsensitivity. This is selected by default usually and does a good job of palm rejection on most laptops.
You can close the Settings now and try out the new configuration by typing up something and trying to use the touchpad.
Turn Off Touchpad Tapping Windows 10 UpdateWith Low sensitivity, Windows 10 automatically disabled the touchpad entirely while typing. As soon as the user stops typing though the touchpad is turned on automatically too. It would be a real bummer if it didn't.
