Windows 10: Allow three-finger gestures for audio control when screen is locked

Hi,Is it possible to allow three-finger gestures for audio control when the screen is locked? I don’t have dedicated keys to play/pause or change track, so I set up the three-finger gestures to change audio and volume. The problem is that it stops working when the screen locks, and if for example I want to pause music, but the screen is locked, I first need to unlock it. If I’m not imagining it, it used to work with the screen locked, but not anymore…

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.

3,4 & 5 finger touch screen gesture problem

I am using a 3rd party app for touch gesture such as 3/4/5 finger pinch and swipe gestures on my
windows 10 home, touch screen mode. The problem I am facing it is that along with the gesture I have set up for using 3rd party app, windows 10 default touch screen gesture for 3/4/5 finger (which is basically same to 2 finger
gesture of pinch to zoom and swipe to move) also get activated using edge, pdf or any other application, which is quite annoying. I am using a
passive touch, touch screen which does not support windows pen and ink features like an active touch do.



The thing is why do you need 3/4/5 finger pinch in/out--zoom & swipe in/out-- to navigate gesture for touch screen, when you can do with 2 fingers already. is there a way to disable default windows 10 touch screen gesture (note: touch screen not touch
pad) for 3,4 and 4 fingers?





Thank you

 

Windows 10 Three finger Gesture

Hi,

I currently have a similar issue - installed Windows 10 on Lenovo Yoga 2, 3 finger gestures worked fine (up for task manager, down for desktop) then today Windows seemed to do some background updates, and the 3 finger gestures have now reverted back to Windows
8.1 gestures - i.e. 3 fingers to go forward/back in browsing windows...any suggestions?

Thanks
