I’m trying to programmatically enable/disable the option:
Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Touchpad → Taps → "Tap with a single finger to single-click"
When toggled manually through Windows Settings, the effect is immediate.
However, when I modify the corresponding registry keys under:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PrecisionTouchPad
the change is only applied after a full system reboot.
I have already tried:
Restarting Explorer (
explorer.exe)Restarting input-related services (e.g.
hidserv,TabletInputService)Re-enumerating devices (
pnputil /scan-devices)Restarting drivers (HID / touchpad)
Killing and reopening
SystemSettings.exe
None of these approaches apply the change immediately.
Is there a way to:
Force Windows to reload Precision Touchpad settings without rebooting, or
Simulate the toggle action programmatically (e.g., via API, PowerShell, or UI automation) so the effect is applied instantly?
