Change Three Finger Flick Gesture Action


I want to change the three finger action on my laptop touchpad. I have win 8.1 driver synaptics driver installed. The three finger gestures can't be changed, only enabled or disbaled. Now, the gestures do the forward and backward navigation on left/right three finger swipe and pageup and pagedown action on up/down swipe. I want to change the up/down or if possible left/right gestures to the new actions introduced in win 10.
researched a bit online and I think that maybe they can be changed through registry edits.

Secondly, I also want to change three finger press to Notification centre. I have a option to launch any program with this gesture so I want to know that if an executable shortcut can be created to windows notification centre (shortcut: Win+A).

 

Windows 10 Three finger Gesture

Hi,

I currently have a similar issue - installed Windows 10 on Lenovo Yoga 2, 3 finger gestures worked fine (up for task manager, down for desktop) then today Windows seemed to do some background updates, and the 3 finger gestures have now reverted back to Windows
8.1 gestures - i.e. 3 fingers to go forward/back in browsing windows...any suggestions?

Thanks

 

Disable Three Finger Gesture of touchpad

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you want to disable the three-finger gesture on your PC. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the question below.

1. What is the exact model of the PC?
   
2. Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently?
   

Refer the article
Which version of Windows operating system am I running?



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

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.
