Windows 10: disable pinch zoom

I have followed every instruction I can find and I cannot turn off pinch zoom. It's to the point that if I can't get this done I will be returning this computer because it doesn't function. Everything I try to do takes 10 times longer than it should because I have to reset the zoom literally 10 times in 5 minutes.
