Windows 10: Click with two fingers to right click doesnt disable on Touchpad

Hello, I want to disable the two finger click right click on my touchpad. This is especially relevent when using a browser so that two finger clicking on a link opens that link in a new tab. I am aware that there is a setting in the touchpad menu that lets you disable "Tap with two fingers to right click" which I have disabled - ie, I have unchecked that box. But still, whenever I tap or click with two fingers, it opens the right click "menu". This is really annoying since all the explanations online direct me to the thing that isn't working. I've restartet my Laptop a Lenovo Thinkpad t470s r

Disable two-finger tap to right click Windows 10

1. No, it doesnt have extra gestures. Normally, without Synaptic I cant even scroll with touchpad (not with two fingers or with one finger on the side) because Win 10 only installs some basic driver (and the mouse lags when using default driver, like if
mouse pointer was running at 15 frames per second).

2. Lower right corner does nothing.

3. Just found out that if I disable touch to left click in Synaptics, it also disables two finger touch to right click - but I dont want to click with hardware keys below my touchpad.

So again the question is - disabling two-finger touch to right click without disabling other stuff..

Also tried newer Synaptics driver that had option to disable/enable two-finger right click, but that version of Synaptics driver
shows in Synaptics settings my touchpad, but doesnt recognize for some reason that Im touching my touchpad or clicking hardware buttons at all, its like if touchpad worked on default driver (no scrolling etc...) but Synapticsdid recognize it.

 

Disable Three Finger Gesture of touchpad

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you want to disable the three-finger gesture on your PC. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the question below.

1. What is the exact model of the PC?
   
2. Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently?
   

Refer the article

I would suggest you to refer the section Navigating using multi-finger gestures and the sub-sectionNavigating within applications using Three-Finger Flick
from the article
HP Notebook PCs - Using the TouchPad or ClickPad (Windows 10) to disable the Three Finger gesture.



Note: The article talks about enabling the gesture, to disable the gesture we need to make sure the box next to Three Finger gesture is unchecked.
