Thank you! I kept trying to find a way to do it from within Windows; didn't realize that Dell had a whole separate application for controlling it.

I've got a Dell Precision M3800 Laptop running Windows 8.1 Pro, and the touchpad on it does this thing where lightly tapping is often treated as a click. I'm finding it super annoying because I'll often intend to just move the cursor and it accidentally clicks and moves something instead.<br />
<br />
Anyone know how to either turn that off completely or lower the sensitivity on it? (I have a similar feature on my MacBook, but it seems much less finicky there.)<br />
<br />
Thanks!

How to stop &quot;tap to click&quot; on trackpad under Windows 8?

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.

Windows 8

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
