Tablet PC requires double tap for single click in some programs












2















I've noticed that in some programs, you have to double-tap the screen in order for a single-click to register. In one such program, Osu, there is an option to fix this issue:



enter image description here



However, I still have other programs that exhibit this behavior that have no such option. How can I fix this problem?

  • Have you tried changing the double-click speed/delay in the Mouse properties Control Panel applet?

  • If it's specific to a program then that's probably how it was coded to accept input, but if it's system-wide then modifying those options might help.

  • I see the same behavior than OP on my SO's ASUS Transformer. I would be interested in answers to that question.

I was able to fix this for pen taps. The same technique did not work for touch taps. My results are from Windows 10 Pro (I have not tried on the newer Windows 10 Creator's Edition), on a Surface Pro with completely default touch drivers.



You need to disable "press and hold for right-click".

Open Control Panel. I had to go to the "hardware and sound" section. From there: open the "Pen and Touch" control panel.



Control Panel



Open the "Pen Options" tab, and configure "Press and hold". Here's the closest screenshot I could find:



Pen Options



Disable press and hold for right-clicking.



Press and Hold settings



Hit OK. The "Press and Hold settings" dialog will close; you'll return to the "Pen and Touch" dialog. Hit Apply.



Now the pen driver will interpret clicks as single-clicks in all situations (instead of waiting to see whether it's a click-and-hold).
