The following tutorial will help you to turn PalmCheck on or off in Windows 8. You can keep the pointer somewhere in between which is recommended by default. Moving the slider to the right will increase PalmCheck and hence decreases sensitivity. Even of you are typing something on keyboard the cursor will keep on moving and working as instructed.
Minimum PalmCheck implies maximum sensitivity and every little touch of palm with the touch pad will be detected and acted upon.
In order to turn off the PalCheck, move the concerned slider to Minimum. As you open the PalCheck Setting, a slider will be provided to you to change the extent of sensitivity of the touchpad. This setting can be changed through Sensitivity. Windows has left every scope of personalization and customization with device settings and so, turning PalmCheck OFF, although not a good idea, still can be implemented.
PalmCheck Feature has the ability to distinguise between an accidental touch of the touchpad with the palm and an intentional brushing of the touchpad.
