Fix Windows 10 touchpad problems



As far as I'm concerned, the touchpad is that thing on my laptop that I need to disable, so I don't touch it by mistake. However, there are many people who would rather use it instead of a mouse. Unfortunately, using a touchpad isn't always a great experience, especially if you don't know how to adapt it to your way of operating it or if you don't know how to troubleshoot it. Here's a short guide that will show you how to fix touchpad problems on Windows 10.

Let me start things of by showing you how to customize the touchpad's settings so that you can use it in a comfortable fashion:
  • Cursor speed - in case the cursor on your screen is moving a lot faster or a lot slower than your finger on the touchpad, there's a very simple fix for your troubles: open the Start Menu, click on Settings (the icon that resembles a cog), then go to Devices --> Mouse & touchpad and press the small button named Additional mouse settings. In the Mouse Properties window that opens up, go to thePointer Options tab and you'll see a Select pointer speed bar; just drag the cursor on the bar to increase or decrease the speed.
  • Double-click options - if whenever you tap the touchpad, Windows perceives it as a double-click, you can fix that as well: repeat the steps from above to get to the Mouse Properties window and in the first tab, the one called Buttons, there's a bar that will allow you to increase or decrease the double-click speed.
Another thing that you should know is that you can use and create your own gestures for the touchpad, but only works with Precision touchpads. Those who have a touchpad capable of using gestures should see a "Your PC has a precision touchpad" text in the Mouse & touchpad section of the Windows Settings. To see and customize these gestures, you will need to get to the Mouse Properties window, look for a tab named ELAN, click on Elan Smart-Pad in the Device section then press the Options button and look around for the gesture options.
If, for some reason, your touchpad dies completely, the fastest way to fix it is to use a mouse, go to the Mouse Properties windows, click on the Elan tab, select your touchpad and press the Enable device button. In case you don't have a mouse at hand, you can do it with just your keyboard: press the Win button to open the start menu, then start typing Mouse & touchpad until the option with the same name appears and press Enter. You will see a Windows Settings window; press tab until the cursor gets to Additional mouse options and press Enter. A new window will open up, press the Tab key to navigate the cursor around and once you reach the tabs from the top of the window, go to Elan. Again, use the Tab key to navigate to enable the device.

What is a Country? देश भनेकाे के हाे?

Yesterday, on January 13, Nepal's Coat of Arms was updated to add Kalapani and Limpiyadhura as in the new Political map. In this context, we today discuss on what actually 'a country is for it's citizen.' देश भनेकाे के हाे? What is a Country? जनताका लागि देश के हो ? जनताका लागि देश संविधान, कानुन, नागरिकता, सिमाना र झन्डा मात्र हो ? होइन । जनताका लागि देश राजधानी, त्यसबीच ठडिएको दरबार र त्यसको गजुर हो ? होइन । जनताका लागि देश भनेको सरकार हो ? होइन । जनताका लागि देश निर्वाचन क्षेत्र मात्र हो ? हुँदै होइन । त्यसो भए जनताका लागि के हो त देश ? जनताका लागिदेश चार सिमानाभित्रको माटो मात्र होइन । योसँगै जोडिने भावना, प्रेम, ऊर्जा र सपनाहरूको बगैंचा हो । जनताका लागि देश आशा हो । जनताका लागि देश खेतमा झरेको पसिनाको बियाड हो । आन्दोलनहरूमा सडकमा पोखिएको रगत हो । आफ्ना सपनाहरूको कविता हो । जस्तो, एउटा शिशुका लागि आमाको काख । जस्तो, भर्खर हिँड्दै गरेको एउटा बालकका लागि पिताजीको हात । एउटा यात्रीका लागि देश बाटो हो, जसमाथि ऊ आफ्ना पैतालाका डोबहरू छोड्छ र गन्तव्यतिर बढ्छ । देश भनेको ...
