@the_raevan Welcome to HP Community!

To disable the Double Tap to Enable or Disable TouchPad feature, open the TouchPad tab in Mouse Properties.

1. Click Start , and then type mouse in the search field.

2. Click Change your mouse settings.

3. Click Additional mouse options.

   

4. In Mouse Properties, click the TouchPad tab.

   NOTE: 

   Some HP notebooks have an HP Control Zone tab. If your notebook has this tab, open it and click HP Control Zone Disable.

    

   If the properties window does not have a TouchPad option, then the TouchPad functionality is not available.

   

5. Click Disable.

   

6. Click Apply, and then click OK.

Let me know how that pans out,
