Many modern laptops use touchpads designed with Microsoft's drivers in mind, but older models might still use drivers from manufacturers like Elan or Synaptics. Head to Settings > Devices > Mouse > Additional Mouse Options, and you can also try enabling or disabling Enhance Pointer Precision. Multi-touch gestures could also be causing you grief, so turn those off if you find you keep invoking them accidentally. In addition, you might want to turn off the tap-to-click features, or the lower-right-corner feature that comes enabled by default. Head to Settings > Devices > Touchpad and change the touchpad sensitivity. Not all touchpads are created equal, but there's a good chance your laptop's drivers will let you adjust a few settings, allowing you to customize how your touchpad responds to your movements.
