I cannot use touchpad while I am holding down a key.

Hello,

My touchpad seems to disable itself whenever I hold down another key on my laptop, such as the W key when playing a game. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

Thanks

The first thing that comes to mind is Windows's touchpad sensitivity setting.

Settings -> Devices -> Touchpad -> Touchpad sensitivity

Try a lower sensitivity, but be aware that there will be a very slight delay after each key press even at the lowest setting. This delay is short enough that playing games like Baldur's Gate or the original Fallout works perfectly fine because you never have to use the touchpad at the same time when pressing  key. If you're playing games where you have to do that, however, I suggest getting ahold of a mouse.
