1. Go to Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Touchpad (or Mouse).
2. Adjust the "Cursor speed" slider to your preference.
3. For more advanced settings, search for "Mouse settings" in the Windows search bar and navigate to the "Pointer Options" tab to adjust pointer speed and enhance pointer precision.

6.3 Clicking Issues

If tap-to-click is not working as expected, ensure it is enabled in your Windows touchpad settings. If physical clicks are unresponsive, ensure you are pressing the designated areas at the bottom of the trackpad. Check for any debris that might obstruct the click mechanism.
