Windows 10: Disabling touchscreen

I have an intermittent ghost input on the touchscreen of my Dell 2710 all in one.


I have set the touchgate to 0 and rebooted and after some use the screen becomes active again.


I have I uninstalled the touchscreen drive in Device manager but it reinstalls after a reboot


I have disabled the device but again after a period of use the screen enables again.


With all these actions the screen disables but eventually gets turned bavk on again.... Sometimes within minutes, sometimes a day or two.


Any suggestions on how to PERMANENTLY disable the screen?


Unfortunately Dell no longer stock replacement screens so this is not an option.
