Windows 10: How to disable 1 finger scrolling on Win 11

When I click on a window e.g., Explorer title bar and keep the touchpad pressed, the systems waits for me to drag the window.If I click near the left or right edge of the touchpad and keep the touchpad pressed the system drags the window left or right without me moving my finger.This is annoying and I'd like to disable it.Does anyone know how to?Thank you

How to disable "start scrolling with 2 fingers, keep scrolling with 1 finger"?

I've noticed this behavior across several laptops with Synaptics touchpads and Windows 10:

1. start scrolling with 2 fingers
   
2. remove 1 finger
   
3. still scrolling, but with 1 finger
   

I'd like to change this behavior to this:

1. start scrolling with 2 fingers
   
2. remove 1 finger
   
3. scrolling ends, now the 1 finger is moving the pointer
   

Is it possible to tweak this somewhere?

 

Cannot disable two finger scrolling

OS: Windows 10 Pro (Build 17134.137)

Touchpad driver: Synaptics Pointing Device from Lenovo (version 19.0.17.115, September 19, 2016)

PC: Thinkpad W520

Steps to reproduce:

1. Navigate to additional mouse options.
   

1. Navigate to TouchPad Properties.
   

1. Ensure that two finger scrolling is disabled.
   

As you can see from the last screenshot, two finger scrolling is disabled on my system, yet the touch-pad still begins to scroll when I have two fingers placed on it. It's jarring and irritating and I'm not used to it at all.

Strangely enough, the setting seems to stick when I open UltraNav settings and close it. But two finger scrolling returns after a restart. I don't know if this is an issue with a driver or my configuration of Windows 10...

I've tried the following:

1. Rolling back the driver, which didn't resolve the issue.
   
2. Deleting the driver and re-installing it via Windows update and from Lenovo's website. Also didn't resolve the issue.
   

Does anyone have a permanent fix, like maybe a registry edit that completely disables all additional touch-pad gestures like this one?
