Question
Friday, August 31, 2018 8:04 PM
I am looking for a way to disable multi-touch e.g. pinch to zoom on a touch screen display(not the track pad) in Windows 10. I have also disabled the touchscreen gestures for swiping in on the edges. I know that this was an option within Windows 7 to disable this feature but is now absent within windows 10 as far as I know.
The reason for this is we display interactive content such as power point slides or a PDF that clients can scroll trough or advance to the next slide while while tapping screen. We don't need them accidentally zooming in or out or any of the other multi-touch functions on a slide or PDF.
Is there also the possibility of a 3rd party program that would prevent the intercept the multi-touch inputs and out put them as a single touch?
Thanks,

Go to the "Devices" bit under the new "Settings" screen and select "Mouse & Touchpad" then at the bottom is "Additional mouse options".
Under additional mouse settings :Disable internal pointing device.
Also check this case, registry method is worthwhile to try.
