This will generally open your touchpad’s settings panel in the old Mouse Properties window. If you don’t see the options here, you can likely click “Additional settings” under Related Settings on the Touchpad settings pane. But, if you don’t see them, your PC doesn’t have a Precision Touchpad, and these options must be configured elsewhere. The exact options available will depend on your PC. Under Taps, enable or disable the “Tap with a single finger to single-click,” “Tap with two fingers to right-click,” and “Tap twice and drag to multi-select” options. (You can quickly open the Settings app by pressing Windows+i on your keyboard.) To check whether these features are available on your PC, head to Settings > Devices > Touchpad. If your laptop does, you can configure tap-to-click and other touchpad settings directly in Windows 10’s Settings app. Many modern Windows laptops have Precision Touchpads.

Some computers have a touchpad disable and enable hot key, refer to User's Manual of your laptop to see if your computer has this hot key and how to use it. So any adjustments made with various settings programs to the "touchpad" don't affect it. OK it turns out that this is a somewhat known problem - it seems the touchpad is not being recognized as a touchpad, it is seen as a PS/2 mouse. I open up "Mouse and Touchpad" and on the Touchpad tab I check "Disable touchpad when typing" and UNcheck "Enable mouse clicks with touchpad". So I want to disable the tap-as-click (after all, I have buttons for clicks too).
