Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I just bought a new HP Pavilion laptop. The touchpad is driving me crazy.  If my hand hits it while I'm typing the screen magnifies or gets smaller. Can I stop it from doing that?

Try going into the touchpad settings and look for "smart sense" or "palm rejection" or something like that. Make sure that it is enabled, and then try fiddling with the settings. It's intended to make sure that accidental touches on the touchpad don't have any effect.
