Asus laptop touchpad issues after Windows anniversary update

Good evening,

I had a similar problem to this when I first updated to Windows 10, can't for the life of me think I resolved it. Now I seem to be having the same problem after the anniversary update. After googling it seems to be a problem affecting Asus laptops especially. I've checked and, as far as I can teel, all the drivers are up tp date.

Basically, the problem is that, since the anniversary update, the touchpad on my laptop has become ultrasensitive. Tabs open up twice instead of once, if I click play on youtube it plays thne pauses again, if you get my meaning. Etc etc. Any idea what I need to do to get the touchpad working normally again.

Many thanks.

I deleted your duplicate posts.

Try uninstalling the touchpad from Device manager, then reboot and let Windows rediscover it and reload the driver. See if that fixes it.

Thanks for deleting, Ztruker. Am about to do as you suggested. Will report back in a bit.

Yes, it seems much better. Many thanks.

OK. I spoke too soon. Touchpad is still very sensitive. Any other ideas wold be gratefully received.

What is the make and full model number of the laptop?

Also check Control Panel, File Explorer options, make sure Single click to open an item is not selected.

Have checked and the single click option is not selected.

The laptop is an Asus X55A.

What is the rest of the model number?  Asus X55A-?????
