This tutorial will show you how to change the touch double-tap speed for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
A touch screen, or touchscreen, is an input device that enables you to interact directly with what is displayed, rather than using a mouse, touchpad, or other such devices (other than a stylus, which is optional for most modern touch screens).
If your device (ex: laptop or tablet) has a touch screen, you can adjust how quickly you tap the screen when you double-tap.

1 Open the Control Panel (icons view), and click/tap on the Pen and Touch icon.
2 Perform the following actions: (see screenshot below)
- Click/tap on the Touch tab.
- Select Double-tab.

3 Adjust the Speed slider left (slower) or right (faster) to the speed you want, and click/tap on OK. (see screenshot below)
You can double-tap on the door graphic under Test settings to test the current double-tap speed.

1 Open Registry Editor (regedit.exe).

4 Click/tap on Decimal, type a number between 0 (slower) to 100 (faster) for the double-tap speed you want, and click/tap on OK. (see screenshot below)
The default double-tap speed is 50.

6 Either sign out and sign in or restart the computer to apply.
That's it,
