Windows 10: "drag two fingers to scroll" issue. How to disabale/enable using bat, reg, or ps script

I am running on Lenovo ThinkPad with Win10 Pro 64bit. I have a program that crashes as soon as I use in the touchpad 2-finger scrolling the main window bounches up and down very quickly, then the program does not respond, and crushes. Instead the Lenovo pointer works, including the scrolling feature by dragging and pressing the middle button.I know that there is a feature from Win Settings to disable "drag two fingers to scroll". I saw that this action changes the registry here:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PrecisionTouchPad]"PanEnabled"=dword:ffffffffturning
