Windows 10: Is there a way to set a 3/4 finger tap to lock the PC on Windows 10?

I just moved to a Dell Precision 5540 from a Dell Latitude E7470. One feature that I sorely miss is that the latitude had options in the "Dell Touchpad Assistant" to set a 3 or 4 finger tap to "Lock Computer"

On the 5540 the same app only has "Launch Mouse Control Panel"

I thought I'd be able to do that by setting the taps to "Win+L" in "Advanced gesture configuration" under the "Touchpad" settings (only keyboard shortcuts seem to be allowed. I can't set it to a program/file), but that doesn't seem to do anything at all.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

How to disable tap to click/enable two fingers to scroll on Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern, and we in Community will try to help you in the best possible way we can.

I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• 
  I suggest you to check if Synaptics driver are installed to the latest version. If the Synaptics touchpad driver isn’t installed, go to the manufacturer’s website and install the latest drivers.
  

• 
  Once installed, type
  Change Mouse Settings in the search bar, change the Search filter to
  Settings to see the Mouse settings entry in search result, and then press enter key to open Mouse Properties dialog.
  
• 
  Switch to the Device Settings tab. Please note that Device Settings tab appears only if the touchpad driver is installed on your PC.
  

• 
  Under Devices, select Synaptics TouchPad and then click
  Settings to open Properties for Synaptics TouchPad.
  

• 
  On the left-side, expand
  MultiFinger Gestures, check Two-Finger Scrolling option and then click Apply button.
  

NOTE: To change the default behaviour of two-finger scrolling, select Two-Finger Scrolling option and then click the Settings icon next to it.



Hope the information helps, if you have any further queries, feel free to post. We are here to assist you.
