Windows 10: Help me disable touchpad gestures, please.

So I have an Exibel bluetooth keyboard model 38-6917/HB087 which features a touchpad.

This is a keyboard bought at Clas Ohlson Norway and does not have proper support, so I can't find any properly configured drivers.

this means that since it technically is third-party and is somehow recognized as a standard mouse I can't see the touchpad settings in the windows settings either. now, I hate gestures. I have never used them and never will do, most of all not on a damn computer which has the possibility for keyboard shortcuts, yet I have found no possible way to actually disable gestures in Windows 10 system-wide. Please, Microsoft, just let me kill the gestures.

The most annoying ones are zoom in/out and the task viewer thingy.

I would suggest you to refer the section Navigating using multi-finger gestures and the sub-sectionNavigating within applications using Three-Finger Flick

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.

From the description provided, I understand that you want to disable the track pad gestures in Windows.

However, I suggest you to post your valuable feedback about Windows 10 in feedback app. So, that it will be helpful for the developers to integrate the changes suggested by you.

Open start menu, type Feedback app in search bar and click on feedback app to open it. Post your suggestions in feedback app.

Hope it helps.
