How do I disable the "touch to click" feature? If I go NEAR that pad, it takes me where I didn't want to go. It has a tap to right or left click(like a mouse) and that's OK but the lightest touch also clicks, driving me crazy(er)

Thank you for responding to my problem,  My product number is 20to4UA#ABA  As you directed, I clicked on start (which is the Windows icon). Then there was no "control panel in site so I entered it into the search bar. When the control panel opened, there wasn't a list on the left and no classic view.  I did start poking around again to find I could go to "hardware and sound> touchpad> tapping. I unclicked enable and apply. That did it It's good now (as long as it doesn't reset when I turn the laptop on again) . without your reply, I wouldn't have polked around again. Thanks again!
