How to Turn On or off Press Lower Right Corner of Touchpad to Right-Click in Windows 11

Pressing the lower right corner of a touchpad to right-click is a Windows 11 setting for laptops with a Precision touchpad. A Precision touchpad is one that uses the standard Windows touchpad driver. The corner press opens the same context menus as the right button on a standard mouse.

Windows 11 turns this on by default on most laptops, so you may already be using it without realizing. You can switch it on or off in the Settings app. The change applies right away, with no restart.

Update KB5095093 also lets you change how big the right-click corner is. This guide covers both the on/off switch and the new size option.

Before you start, note that the on/off option only appears for Precision touchpads. Many of these laptops also support the two-finger tap for right-click. Turning off the corner press does not affect that gesture, because the two-finger tap is a separate checkbox on the same settings page.

Here is how to turn the corner press on or off:

1. Press the Win+I to open Settings⚙️.
2. Go to Settings › Bluetooth🔷 & devices › Touchpad. The touchpad page opens with a Touchpad switch at the top.
3. Make sure the Touchpad switch is set to On. The gesture options below it cannot be used while the touchpad is off.
4. Click Taps to expand that section if it is collapsed. A list of checkboxes for tap gestures appears.
5. Find Press the lower right corner of the touchpad to right-click.
6. Tick the checkbox to turn the feature on, or clear it to turn the feature off.
7. Close Settings. Press the lower right corner of the touchpad on the desktop to test it. If the feature is on, a right-click menu🖱️ appears.

That’s it. The corner press is now on or off, as you chose. To undo the change, follow the same steps and flip the checkbox back.

Microsoft’s release notes for KB5095093 describe a newer option on the same page. You can now customize the size of the bottom-right corner that responds to a single-finger right-click. The choices are default, small, medium, or large.

1. Make sure KB5095093 is installed. Check Windows Update🔃 if you are not sure.
2. Open Settings › Bluetooth🔷 & devices › Touchpad.
3. Look for the setting that controls the size of the right-click corner. It sits with the other touchpad options on this page.
4. Choose default, small, medium, or large.
5. Press the lower right corner of the touchpad to test the new size. Adjust the choice if the zone feels too small or too large.

You should now have a right-click corner sized to suit you. Choose default to go back to the original size. Microsoft says this setting is only available on touchpads with a pressable surface. That means a pad that physically clicks down when you press it.

If you do not see the Touchpad page or the checkbox, check the following:

• Your laptop may not have a Precision touchpad. Older laptops often use a Synaptics or Elan driver with its own settings, usually in the Mouse settings in Control Panel or in the manufacturer’s app.
• The touchpad driver may be missing or outdated. Check Windows Update, or the laptop maker’s support site, for a newer driver.
• You may be on a desktop PC with no built-in touchpad. In that case Windows hides the Touchpad page.
• If the size option is missing, your touchpad may not have a pressable surface. The update may also not be installed yet.

The same steps work on Windows 11 Home and Pro. The setting is per user and does not require administrator rights.
