    Settings → Devices → Touchpad → Touchpad sensitivity → set to "Most sensitive" is wrong direction — set it to "Least sensitive" instead. This stops light/accidental brushes from registering.

    Settings → Devices → Touchpad → scroll to "Three-finger gestures" → set to "Nothing" or change from Switch apps/desktops if you don't need it.

    Also check "Four-finger gestures" similarly.

    Run the Surface Diagnostic Toolkit

    Update Touchpad driver.
