For the past year or so, my touchpad has seemed almost possessed if I’m not using it on a flat surface. For example, if my computer is on my lap and I try to use the touchpad, the cursor may move on its own, switch between programs/windows or involuntarily minimize/grow/shrink a window. I mostly want to use my laptop ON MY LAP and it’s maddening that it’s become nearly impossible to do that.
Is this a good question?

Hi Katherine Scalaro
I agree that on some laptops I worked with, it seems there is a "touchpad / trackpad disease" auto scroll or etc.
Some workaround I do for my friends, etc…
Consider updating your computer BIOS too.
1. Update the trackpad drivers and monitor if it helps.
2.Disable trackpad / touchpad if using mouse.
3. Replacing the module, (can be very difficult) some are glued securely to the laptop frame. (IMO I will just live with it and just disable the trackpad as on No 2., using mouse)
