Need to disable tap to click

[Cjsteury]

First, enabling Tap to Click is a feature that makes no sense.  If you actually use a touch pad for navigation ( this is the purpose of a touch pad ie..(to navigate) like a mouse, then using the pad to also perform mouse clicks at the same time while you are navigating is IDIOTIC. 

Only the most useless software applications would allow both navigation and input clicks to occur simultaneously... I can't even think of an application where this would be useful except maybe some stupid game or 'let's play chalkboard' ... if you have a serious application a touchpad that intermittently sends input clicks while navigating can have devastating consequences on your work -- SCREWING UP EVERYTHING very quickly.

It looks like the latest Synaptics Touchpad driver has a Windows 10 conflict on OMEN and other HP Laptops. Version whatever after Jan 2020 or so.    It makes the settings inaccessible the Synaptics app does not even load.  Rolling back the driver to Dec 2019 or Oct 2019 or so fixes this problem, however then the Touch To Click Feature FROM HELL constantly re-enables itself every time you re-boot your computer.  I swear the Synaptics programmers who are obviously also the Product Managers are idiots.  It's obvious as Programmers always think new features are great no matter what they do, Programmers suck at quality control and Programmers don't know anything about how to actually use Applications and the consequences thereof.

So to fix the issue in a previous post you have to actually go into REG-EDIT to change the setting that resets the Tap to click on re-boot.  In 40 years I have never had to go into REGEDIT to fix the dumb-ass issues that are occurring with major hardware and software developers... Both HP and Synaptics look like a bunch of fools right now if you ask me and if someone does not pull their head out of their a--- soon, I will look for a product that still values quality control and does not have a Synaptics product on it.

By the way, the Registry edit feature is on another post it goes Windows Local Machines - > Software -> Synaptics - > Install -> disable feature to reset setttings ( or something like that ) and you turn it off by switching the 1 to a 0.
