I don't find the settings. I went to the mouse settings, but there aren't any touch-pad related settings. It shows up as a PS2 mouse.
The device manager doesn't show up any further devices so I'm not sure how to install further device drivers. I also don't really know the exact hardware in my PC nor how to find that out.
My question is mostly how to find out myself what to do. I guess I need to install something. Why doesn't it do that automatically?

I tried already Synaptics because that seems like a quite common driver, however, the setup failed with some error, so I guess it is the wrong driver - but again, I'm not sure how to figure that out.
On Linux, I would probably do something like
lspci or lsusb - but not sure what I have to do on Windows.

In short, there is not a native Windows command that does the same as
lspci or lsusb .
Your alternative on windows is
msinfo32 and extracting the vendor and product ID, highlighted below, from the Plug and Play device field:
You can then use these to lookup what the device is online, this is what Windows does itself.
A search for the highlighted device ID above tells me its a Cherry CyMotion / eVolution Series Keyboard.
If a device looks like the following in
msinfo32 :
Then the device manufacturer did not apply for a registered Vendor ID thus not allowing Windows, or yourself to deduct what the device might be and Windows has reverted to a default driver.
This is why manufactures, such as ASUS, have a website dedicated to looking up drivers for the built in devices based on the Laptops serial number. Eset smart security 9 crack.

If you have a driver installed for your touchpad, such as a Synaptics driver (most likely), you will find a tab inside the Mouse Control Panel. It should have a section for Tapping. You can disabled it there.

Unfortunately I cannot add comments yet so this prohibits me from asking for further information without posting an answer.
If you truly can't see the touchpad settings tab within the 'Mouse Properties' dialogue then I assume it's probably built in to some sort of system utility or tool your laptop came with. What make is it?
Please can you also upload the below .NFO config to somewhere like Ge.tt
'Windows key + R -> Type msinfo32 -> Click File and Save -> Upload the .NFO'
Once I get that I might be able to give you a few suggestions of places to look/applications to remove.
EDIT
Following your Msinfo, install the touchpad driver for Windows 8.1 64-bit here. - Install that reboot and see if you can now see the touchpad.

how to disable tap-on-click (touchpad) on windows? I don't find the settings. I went to the mouse settings, but there aren't any touch-pad related settings. It shows up as a PS2 mouse.
I guess they thought the setting was common enough to put in the context-menu of the tray icon instead of in the regular driver settings dialog:

I went through all the steps- Look in Control panel>Mouse. Device Mangler> disable greyed out. Attempt to install correct or missing touchpad drivers (synap or elan = device not found) Tried Reg-edits- nothing applicable. Then it occurred to me to assign the PS/2 mouse (since disable is grey out and un-install, will only re-install on boot) TO MANUAL assign the wrong driver to the PS/2 mouse. Viola- done. :)

A Windows equivalent to
lsusb and lspci is msinfo (actually it's more like hardinfo than what you're used to) hit Ctrl+F and search for pad (as there can be a touchpad , smartpad or trackpad , depending on your hardware) and you'll find the exact hardware you have.
If that fails to give anything, you can take it a step further and can also figure out for yourself which driver is in use and how to change the settings by opening
regedit and navigating to HKCU (HKEY_CURRENT_USER ) for your own user's settings or HKCM (HKEY_CURRENT_MACHINE ), Software , and then it depends on your hardware:
There you will find all the settings in a hierarchical tree in the registry and for my machine disabling (=setting values to FabbyFabby
0 ) disabled any and all tapping:

Hello Don,
We are unclear if you are referring to tapping on the touch screen of a device itself, or if you are referring to the track pad on your device. To directly answer your question though, we have provided both sets of instructions below.
If you are referring to your track pad tapping functionality, there are a few settings to disable by following these steps:
1. Go to your Start Menu
2. Select Settings
3. Select Devices
4. On the left-hand side in the Devices menu, select Touchpad
5. There are a few checkboxes that control settings for tapping. If you want no tapping functionality on the trackpad, uncheck the boxes labeled 'Tap with a single finger to single click', 'Tap with two fingers to right-click', and 'Tap twice and drag to multi-select'.
Once all three of these settings have bene unchecked your trackpad will no longer have tapping functionality.
If you are referring to disabling touch functionality on your touch screen itself, follow these next steps:
1. Right click / Tap&hold on your start menu, then release after four seconds
2. Open the Device Manager
3. Double tap/ double click on Human Interface Devices
4. Double click/ double tap on any devices labeled HID compliant touch screen (You may need to do this more than 1 time if you see multiple HID compliant touch screen drivers in the device manager list)
5. Go to the Driver tab
6. Select Disable Device
7. A prompt will appear asking if you are sure, select Yes
8. Select Okay on the driver properties window
Once this has been done for ALL of the HID compliant touch screen drivers the touch screen will no longer have tapping functionality.
If you'd like to undo any of these changes, follow the same steps and ensure either for the touch pad that all checkboxes have checkmarks in them, or for the touch screen ensure all the HID compliant touch screen drivers show as enabled.
If you have any further queries or issues with these settings, please reply to this post and we will be more than happy to assist and answer questions.
Thank you~
