Thank you

Step 1:

In the Registry, go to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTP\Defaults, and set the value of all string entries of the form PalmKms…, to 0. These values determine the amount of ms that the touchpad stays disabled after keyboard input has been detected.

Step 2:

1. Type WIN+R and start "regedit"
2. Confirm that you're an admin (a window may pop up).
3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTP\Install
4. Change DeleteUserSettingsOnUpgrade from 1 to 0
5. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTPCpl
6. Change RestoreAllDefaultsfrom 1 to 0
7. Now you can change the ClickPad-Settings (of course, they will not be deleted after a restart, and you can change them as many times as you want to)

After you perform Step 1 and Step 2 you also want to navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTP\TouchPadPS2_2TM3139 and set PalmRT to 0.

After you completed all the above steps, you will have to restart your machine, in order for the changes to take affect.

Answer 2

Open the Registry Editor, either by pressing Win+R, then type regedit in the Run dialog and hit enter, or simply typing "regedit" in Windows Start.

1. In the Registry go to the following key:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTP\Defaults
   

   and set the value of all string entries of the form PalmKms… to 0. These values determine the amount of ms that the touchpad stays disabled after keyboard input has been detected.

2. Then go to the key:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTP\Install
   

   and change DeleteUserSettingsOnUpgrade from 1 to 0

3. Then to

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTPCpl
   

   and change RestoreAllDefaultsfrom form 1 to 0

   Now you can change the ClickPad-Settings as many times as you want, which will not be deleted after a restart.

4. You may also need to go to:

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTP\TouchPadPS2_2TM3139
   

   and set PalmRT to 0.

After you completed all the above steps, you will have to restart your machine in order for the changes to take affect.

Convenient .reg file to do all above.

first go to regedit and set all these values to zero.

regedit->HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->SYNAPTICS->SYNTP->DEFAULTS PalmKms, should be 24 in total.

It's easy, right click each one and select modify then change the value to zero.

then go settings, devices, mouse and touchpad and set touchpad to no delay

then go to additional mouse options under touchpad and click on your clickpad settings and click on the cog next to smartsense

finally move the tapping and pointing time to the left, and MOST IMPORTANTLY move the top bar FAR RIGHT not left so it's at MAX. This will solve the annoying problem once and for all. Spread the word. It,'s bar to MAX NOT min.
