I'm having a problem where my mouse doesn't move while a key is pressed.

 

In Settings>Mouse & Touchpad, under the "touchpad" heading, the "Delay before clicks work after typing (paraphrased)" settings is set to No Delay (always on).

 

From the above screen>Additional mouse settings>smartsense>settings cog next in smartsense bar:

The top setting is all the way left on the "off" selection of a ticked bar.

The second bar labeled "tapping disabled time after keystroke" is all the way left.

The third bar labeled "pointing disabled time after keystroke" is all the way left.

The first top bar being set to "off" causes the bottom half of the setting screen to be grayed out.

 

From the searching I did, apparently the settings are correct(?), but it's not disabling the feature.

A solution that worked for a few people was to install a previous driver and set it to not automatically update it.

 

After a good bit of searching around on this very confusing-to-me site, I was unsuccessful at finding the driver I need.

 

My current driver installed is:

Synaptics TouchPad Driver (Windows 10 v1607)

19.3.11.37 Rev. A
