HP Envy 13 - Disable tap-to-click on touch pad

[spadgy]

Hi all,

I've got a new HP Envy 13 (sepcifically the HP Envy 13-ah0003na model) running Windows 10 Home (64 bit).

Short version: I want to disable tap-to-click on the touchpad, so that only a hard click on the touchpad registers as a click.

Longer version: I've tried following several of the guides here on the HP help forums, but in each case they suggest selecting a tab or option I don't have on my machine. The 'Taps' section within Windows 10 OS only appears to let me select the sensitivity of taps... not disable them.

My touchpad is specifically a Synaptics SMBus ClickPad. I can view it's properties and so on, but not select any options. I've got plenty of mouse options I can access through, but not touchpad options.

Any help would be tremndously apprecited! Thanks.

I feel rather meek in that I may have solvedmy own problem. After hours of tinkering, forum trawling and so on, I downloaded the official Synaptics TouchPad App (my Envy 13 rocks a Synaptics touchpad). Distinct from Windows 10 settings, it gave me much more control over my touchpad, including letting me turn off tap-to-click. 

In case this helps anybody else, the app was by Synaptics Incorprated. Their similarly named Synpatics TouchPad Control Centre wouldn't download onto my Envy 13, despite my machine matching its settings.

Where did you download this app from? Only Synaptics Touchpad Control Panel app I can find is only for IBM Thinkpad. Doesn't help for HP Envy.
