  1. Disable the right swipe virtual desktop "feature" of windows 10


    This is the most annoying thing in windows 10. When I move my finger to the right on the trackpad, the current window shrinks and I see some virtual desktop. I want that to never happen again. How can I disable this??

    Thanks!

    :)

    Windows 10 Disable Right-Swipe to Virtual Desktop

    Like the title says, every time I swipe to the right with my mouse on the desktop, it opens up the virtual desktop mode, which is super annoying when playing a game and it pops you out of it. Is there any way to disable that swipe setting?

    Apologies if this is a repeat question, everything I've seen about the subject relates to Surface or other touch screen devices, nothing on the desktop.

    I have the latest updates to Windows 10.

    Thank you.

    Disable virtual desktops Windows 10

    Is it possible to disable the virtual desktop feature? It's super annoying. I'll be working on a file and then move my mouse (touch pad) to the right and the virtual desktops pop up (multiple receded windows to then select from to make the active screen).
    I don't ever use the feature and just want to shut it off so it stops interfering with my work. I've seen some hit or miss suggestions with altering registry keys, but this seems like a basic user feature that should simply have an on/off switch. Help! I've
    been looking at forums to shut this off since my computer upgraded to Windows 10 and it started interrupting my work.
