Windows 10: Can't turn off edge swipe for USB touchpad on computer

So I got a USB touchpad for my computer instead of a mouse because with my tendonitis in both hands I'm not able to use a mouse, it's a bit small but I was fine with that. I didn't take into consideration that windows edge swipe would limit my use of it pretty much completely. I've been searching for HOURS trying to find a way to turn it off but I've found no way to do it. This is what I've tried:

- Obviously gone through all my settings & can't find anything relating to touchpad & my mouse settings have nothing involving edge swiping I've searched my settings for swipe, edge, & gesture.

- I've tried the regedit trick but that also did not work.

- I don't seem to have local group policy editor

- My friend suggested I download Synaptics touchpad driver which also didn't work

The touchpad I bought did not come with a driver there is no driver on the site & they use that as a selling point so I know there is no driver for it. At this point I don't think I can turn off windows 10 edge swipe, but I wanted to ask here anyways because this touchpad is basically unusable & I feel like I wasted money that I don't have & maybe someone will have anymore ideas. Thank you.
I have Windows Home 19042.746

Enable or Disable Edge Swipe on Screen in Windows 10


Hey, I am using a logitech k400 keyboard with touchpad. I have this plugged in as well as a normal keyboard and mouse. I can't get the edge swipe gesture to stop working, regardless of disabling it in gp or registry. Any suggestions?

Hello djhnson043,

You might see if the tutorial below may work better for touchpad edge swipes instead.

disable edge swipe on bluetooth trackpad

I have a touchscreen tablet running Windows 10 Home 2004 build 19041.572.

I have disabled touchscreen edge swipe with a registry key change:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\EdgeUI]

"AllowEdgeSwipe"=dword:00000000

I have a basic Bluetooth keyboard with trackpad. It came with no drivers or applications. It merely connects via Bluetooth and give my tablet a keyboard and mouse pointer.

When I edge swipe on the trackpad, the tablet responds with the normal edge swipe actions that it used to do when I edge-swiped with the touch screen.

I wish to turn these touchpad edge swipes off.

There is no app or extra tab that opens in Mouse Settings for the trackpad. There is no Touchpad in Settings > Devices. There are no added drivers for the device.

How do I turn off the trackpad edge swipe?
