(Resolved) How can you turn off gestures in Win 10?

[pixelplucker]

I recently snagged a little 2:1 laptop from Dell and some of my illustration programs get confused with the gestures. Mainly the tap and arrange makes it almost impossible to click and drag like a normal mouse function.

 

There used to be options to turn gestures off but I can't find it under 10.

 

help?

I don't have win10 but I googled "how to turn off gestures in windows 10". I got:

 

1. Open the Control Panel (icons view), and click/tap on the Mouse icon.
2. In Mouse Properties, click/tap on the Device Settings tab, and click/tap on the Settings button.
3. Check (enable) or uncheck (disable) the Enable Edge Swipes option, and click/tap on OK.
4. Click/tap OK in Mouse Properties.

Many other links come up - hope this helps

I think the setting you are refering there to Nancy is only meant for Edge (which is the internet browser of windows 10).

 

I am not sure if this can help, but it may work more or less the same with touch displays?

I seem to be missing those options other than the edge swipes. I tried compatibility mode and ran the troubled programs as win 7 but that doesn't work either because compatibility mode doesn't change or override inputs.

 

Did I ever mention I hate Win 8-10? Poorly thought out as usual.

 

Guess my other resorts is to either to hook up a Wacom tablet or figure out a registry hack...

 

If you guys do find a better way let me know.

 

Thanks

I lucked out, someone else had the same issue and it was an option to turn off internal scroll bars in the program. Now AM would run on this it would be that much cooler!
