Hey, I just got a new HP Omen laptop and it mostly works great. However, I was annoyed buy the touchpad being disabled while typing (because it took a few moments to re-enble, making it difficult to quickly edit documents when jumping from one section to another). I saw that there is a setting for this in the Omen Control software, and I enabled it, and it works temporarily. But when I restart the laptop, the setting is no longer enabled, and you have to re-enable it yourself. This does not happen for other settings, such a disabling the windows key, which stay after reboot, but the touchpad setting doesn't. Is there any way to fix this?

 

Thanks

Thank you very much, I didn't realise that this setting could also be found under the touchpad settings. I turned of SmartSense (palm detection + keyboard delay) and it solved half of the problem. However, the touchpad settings also don't save on reboot. There have been posts on this before, such as:

The final solution in that post, editing a resistry value, worked for me, and now the settings stay saved. So thanks to you and that post.

Looking into Synaptics touchpad setting from Control Panel, there should be an option to disable palm-rejection.
