How to get the trackpad on the laptop working while the keyboard is in use?

Knaj

I have a HP Spectre 15 x360 that I won, and it is an absolute beast of a laptop. However, I can't get the trackpad and keyboard to work at the same time. It uses synaptics drivers, but I was thinking of changing the drivers to windows precision drivers (but I'm not sure how well that would work with the larger trackpad). Does anyone have any ideas?

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTP\Defaults 

Change all PalmKMS value to 0

Alternatively, if you can access Synaptics then go to Pointing > Sensitivity and set palmcheck to minimum

Regedit worked for me since I have no palmcheck option

 

I know this is not a tech news and reviews but sauce:

The Regedit did not work for me, or do I have to restart my machine?

 

Edit: I restarted my machine and now it works! Thank you!
