To properly set up the touchpad functionality in Windows 10 you should access advanced settings. Usually, the regular touchpad features offered by the Windows system shows only basic functionality and offers only limited tweaking possibilities – such as changing the pointer speed, options for pointer precision and so on. The advanced touchpad settings are included by the touchpad hardware manufacturers and can be accessed on your Windows 10 computer or notebook by following the steps from below.
