Windows 10: Disabling two finger right click on touchpad

Hi!I would like to know if there is a way to disable the two finger right click on the touchpad. Just to be as clear as possible, I do mean "click" and not "tap".I would like to have it so that the only time I right click is when I touch the bottom right corner of the touchpad. Otherwise, I find that if I'm scrolling, I am constantly right clicking by accident. I have to fully lift my hand off of the track pad in order to not accidentally right click. This isn't life altering, but it sure is annoying.Any tips?

:)

 

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
Which version of Windows operating system am I running?



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.
