I have a Surface Pro 3 running Windows 8.1.   I noticed that I can no longer use the right or left clicks when using the touch pad on the Surface Pro 3 keyboard. 

When I go to PC Settings - PC and devices - Mouse and Touchpad I only see the section for the Mouse, touchpad does not display.

This is occurs with a domain user account.  If I log in as a domain admin (different account) the touchpad settings now appear.  Does anyone have any thoughts?

If I make the original user and admin or domain admin the results don't change, the touchpad settings still do not display.

Hi,

Since you mentioned the setting of touchpad appeared within the domain admin user account. The root cause is user account permission issue. I would like to suggest you contact domain administrator to see if he/she set some limitation for standard user.

I am the administrator. I agree it appears to be permissions related. However I can make the user in question an administrator and that does not correct the issue.   Seems to may be something related to the user profile, not sure what to look for in that.

Hi,

It's hard to troubleshoot since I have no specific Surface pro to do a test.

Based on your description, when you add the promblematic user account to domain administrator group, the touchpad setting still not appear.

I suggest you recreate a new local user either admin or standard to check if it could get the correct setting.

I am experiencing exactly the same problem (TouchPad settings not appearing under PC Settings / PC and Devices / Mouse and Touchpad on Windows 8.1 for most users) . . . it's driving me nuts . . . did you ever find anything that got the TouchPad settings back for anyone other than a Domain Admin? My gut feeling is that there has to be something somewhere in group policy (or registry or . . .) that has fouled this up, but I've tried everything I can think of to no avail.

Thanks!
