Disabling the double tap to turn on/off feature on my touch pad.

Hi, I recently purchased a laptop from Pcspecialist, however the touch pad can get in the way when I am playing certain games, I have disabled it when my mouse is connected however the double tap to enable/disable feature in the top left of the touch pad remains active, sometimes I lean over this and it tabs me out of the game I'm playing. From looking online I thought that i need to go into my additional mouse settings and there would be a tab to the right of the hardware option, in this tab I get the option to enable/ disable this feature however the tab isnt present on my laptop. I've attached the image of my additional mouse settings and where I thought the tab would be. Any help would be great, Thanks.

A Synaptics update removed their tab from the Mouse option in device manager.
Is there a new Touchpad option under Settings>Devices?

I had to download & install Microsoft’s precision touchpad driver to add extra settings including disabling the touchpad:

Hi, thanks for the reply, I can disable the touchpad by going into the device settings, as shown in the screen shot, however, even when it is turned off in this setting if i double tap the top left of the corner of the touch pad it turns itself back on again. It's this feature I don't know how to turn off, thanks.
