2. Select point and click options (depending on the computer you’re using, you’ll see only some of these options):

This did not solve my issue. I have had Tap to Click turned off since installing, and tapping does not click.

However, hovering over for a few seconds will still register a click event, which is particularly detrimental when using music software in live settings.
