I have to click my files on my Macbook Air severaly times just to open it. Every other questions has the answer to Macbook pros, but it doesn't help. I tried turning on tap to click and turning the click to light and medium, but it doesn't help. Does anyone have a solution?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.2
Do you have the same issue when clicking on items on the menubar? If so, then your Trackpad may have a hardware issue.
Try booting into Safe Mode to see if you have the same issue. If things works while booted into Safe Mode, then it is likely you have some third party software installed which is interfering with the normal operation of macOS.
You can also try creating a new macOS user account. Log out of your main user account, then log into the new macOS user account to see if you have the same issue. If the new user account works fine, then you have some sort of issue with the main user account.
Try using an external USB mouse. Do you have the same issue? If not, then the laptop's built-in Trackpad either has a configuration issue or the built-in trackpad is bad (or maybe if an older laptop with a mechanical trackpad, there is some liquid or crumbs preventing the Trackpad from physically moving properly).

Using Single-Click:
The only way to do this is to drag the item to your Dock. From there, you can single-click it to open it.

Using Single-Click:
Make sure the files are closed when moving them. If that is of no success, then there is frankly no way of doing this.
