How to disable swipe gestures

Hello

My name is Michael Carroll, and I am a Microsoft Independent Advisor. I'd be more than happy to assist you. I'm so sorry that you are experiencing this issue. Don't worry; I'll do everything I can to help you.

Disabling swipe gestures on a touchpad can often require making changes in both Windows settings and potentially the touchpad driver's settings. Here's how you can disable swipe gestures in Windows 10 or 11:

Step 1: Disable Swipe Gestures in Windows Settings

Open Settings:

Press Win + I to open the Settings app.

Navigate to Devices:

Click on Devices.

Go to Touchpad Settings:

In the left-hand menu, select Touchpad.

Adjust Touchpad Sensitivity:

Scroll down to the Related settings section.

Click on Additional settings.

Disable Gestures:

In the Mouse Properties window, go to the Device Settings or ELAN (or similar tab depending on your touchpad driver).

Click on Settings or Options to open the touchpad settings.

Look for settings related to Swipe, Gestures, or Edge Swipe.

Disable or uncheck the swipe gestures you do not want.

Step 2: Disable Swipe Gestures in Touchpad Driver Software

Some touchpads have their own driver software that offers additional settings.

Synaptics Touchpad:

If you have a Synaptics touchpad, there may be a Synaptics Control Panel.

Open the Synaptics Control Panel from the system tray or the control panel.

Look for settings related to gestures and disable the ones you do not want.

Precision Touchpad:

If your laptop uses a Precision Touchpad, the settings can be managed directly from Windows settings as detailed above.

Other Manufacturers:

For other touchpad manufacturers (like ELAN, ALPS, etc.), look for their specific control panel or settings app.

Disable gestures from there.

Step 3: Update or Rollback Touchpad Drivers

If the above steps don't work, updating or rolling back your touchpad driver might help.

Open Device Manager:

Press Win + X and select Device Manager.

Locate Touchpad Device:

Expand the Mice and other pointing devices section.

Right-click on your touchpad device and select Update driver.

Choose Search automatically for updated driver software.

Rollback Driver:

If updating doesn't work, you might need to roll back to a previous driver version.

Right-click on your touchpad device, select Properties, go to the Driver tab, and click Roll Back Driver.

Step 4: Disable Edge Swipe via Registry Editor

If none of the above methods work, you might need to disable the gesture through the Registry Editor.

Warning: Editing the registry can cause system issues if not done correctly. Be sure to back up the registry before making changes.

Open Registry Editor:

Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter.

Navigate to the Touchpad Settings:

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PrecisionTouchPad\Status.

Disable Edge Swipe:

Look for a key related to edge swipe or similar settings.

If present, change the value to 0 to disable it.

Restart Your Computer:

Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

By following these steps, you should be able to disable the annoying swipe gesture that launches Edge on your touchpad. If the problem persists, it might be worth checking with your laptop manufacturer's support or forums for specific guidance related to your touchpad model.

I hope these steps help you resolve the issue. If you still have problems, please reply with any missing details, screenshots, and other important information needed.
