For me this setting was overridden by my Synaptics ClickPad driver. Using your answer as guidance, I managed to turn this feature off by going to Mouse & touchpad settings > Additional Mouse Options > ClickPad > Settings > Advanced > SmartSense and dragging the "Palm Check Threshold" slider all the way to minimum.

Awesome! Thanks @Ninjakannon, I don't know why that worked for me (as pressing any key seemed to lock the touchpad up entirely, not the pad) but it seems to have done the trick

Damn MS! This is yet another hard-to-find "parallel" settings not presenting anywhere in main Control Panel... Who does normally bother with those dumbed-down "PC & Devices" settings in a full-desktop environment??.. This answer finally solved my main gaming headache!

+1 the registry hack also fixed this issue for me on a Razer Blade 14" (2017) running Windows 10.

The registry setting had no effect for me (that I could tell) on Windows 10. Instead, this answer solved it for me: set the touchpad sensitivity as high as it goes.
