link or icon and activates it
Any suggestion on how to turn this action off

I had this annoyance once with a touchpad-equipped machine - culprit was hand resting on the pad. Since i don't like touchpad and it also had a tracepoint, I disabled it.

Dave Mainwaring -
Follow up on my prior post re using mouse instead of touchpad with Win 10.
HP mouse is a "X3000".
I did finally connect it this afternoon. Functions perfectly.

Dave Mainwaring -
I had the same issue with a Dell Pavillion 17 laptop, product number
K4Q96UA#ABA running 64 bit Win10 Home on a non touch screen.
Synaptic SMBus touch pad.
Couple weeks ago I gave up on the touch pad and plugged in an old logitech
wireless mouse. Its not a Win 10 compliant mouse, and the center scroll
wheel does not function, but I can live with that for a few days . I get
really good cursor control with the logitech and the left and right push
buttons work fine. No inadvertant "click throughs" when I park the cursor
on a link.
I have also found that Fry's sells a $14.99 HP wireless mouse, a model
something or other 3000, that claims to be fully functional in Win 10. I
bought one today, but haven' cut through the clamshell packaging and
installed it, yet.
