my trackpad on my MBpro17 works correctly except that suddenly the double click does not open files anymore.
I can select with one click, but not open by double clicking. Can only open files or folders via a right hand click then menu option.
Tried changing track speed in preferences, and that might solve it for 1 or 2 clicks.
otherwise it works perfectly.
any ideas? thx

Hi aruiz1,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
After checking the double-click speed using the article below, I'd start by seeing if the issue persists when booted into Safe mode or in a new user account:

Jeremy,
Many thx!
Wow that was an obscure location to fix this problem but it worked. My OS X menu is different, it is labled accessibility vs universal and the options are a bit different. Reducing the speed of double click did the trick.
thx again!
Hi aruiz1,
