How to Enable or Disable Double Tap to Enable or Disable Touchpad in Windows 10


If your Windows 10 PC (ex: laptop) has a built-in touchpad, you may want to enable or disable on demand.

The TouchPad Disable Zone feature allows you to enable or disable the touchpad by double tapping on the corner zone (top left) of the touchpad.

If the touchpad is enabled, you can double tap on the top left corner of the touchpad to disable it.

If the touchpad is disabled, you can double tap on the top left corner of the touchpad to enable it.

This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable the TouchPad Disable Zone feature to double tap to enable or disable touchpad for your account in Windows 10.

The TouchPad Disable Zone settings will vary from one device and driver to another, so your settings may be different than in this tutorial.

If you have something different, then please post screenshots. I'll be happy to include it in the tutorial for others.
