    HP EliteBook - Disable tap touchpad to click

    Hi, I am using a HP EliteBook 820 G3. It has this functionality where if I tap the touchpad/trackpad, it sends a mouse click to the system.
    [HEADING=1]How do I disable this? A quick Google search shows the following instructions:
    [ol]
    [li]Go to Settings.[/li][li]Click on Personalization, then Themes.[/li][li]Select Mouse pointer settings.[/li][li]Then, click on the last tab called Device settings (might be different from other computers) and again on Settings.[/li][li]A new window will pop-up with the Pointer options. Just uncheck Tapping.[/li][/ol][/HEADING]
    I am at Mouse Properties, I don’t see a tab called Device Settings/Settings/Pointer Options

    What should I do now?

    Is there a little square/rectangle on the upper left-hand side of the touchpad? If you touch this it disables the pad.
    If using Windows 10 have you checked under settings>touchpad disable touchpad when mouse is connected?
    Is it a synaptics touchpad? If so then a driver update may have removed the synaptics tab under mouse.
    Is there a key on the keyboard which will disable/enable the touchpad?
