Windows 10: Is there a way to set the 3 finger gestures in the registry?

I have a laptop with a touchpad and I use the 3 finger press as a middle click. But when I remote into my media server (without a touchpad) 3 finger press triggers the default action. And since that machine has no touchpad, I can't set it in the windows settings.

I've searched the registry but can't find anything? Is there a way I can force this setting?

April 2019 update - 3 fingers swiping gesture problem

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are unable to use the three fingers swiping feature not working after updating the version of Windows. We will need some clarity on this issue to guide you accordingly. Hence, kindly respond to the questions
below.

1. What is the make and model of the PC?
   
2. Which touchpad driver is installed on the PC?
   

I would suggest you to check the gesture settings in the touchpad settings. Follow the steps to check for the gesture settings.

1. Open Settings > Devices > Mouse.

1. Now on the right hand side click on
   Additional mouse settings.
   
2. Select the Device settings tab and click on
   Settings.
   

We await your response.



Regards,

How to change Windows 10 Gestures (3 finger swiping)

I just upgraded my Windows 7 Dell Inspiron Laptop to Windows 10.

I now have the Windows 10 three finger gestures on my touchpad that basically act as alt+tab (Swipe left/right:
move between windows, Swipe up: task switch,
Swipe down: minimize all windows and show the desktop)

I absolutely hate this!

In Windows 7, swiping up and down with 3 fingers allowed me to switch between tabs in my internet browser. And swiping left hit the "back button", and swiping right hit the "forward button" in the browser. I
liked this! It was SUPER efficient and SUPER convenient. But, this has been overridden by the new Windows 10, 3 finger gestures.

Is there anyway to replace the new Windows 10 3 finger gestures with my old Windows 7 3 finger gestures?

I looked through all the settings and "additional mouse settings" and "touchpad settings" but I haven't found a way to change it.

Again, is there a way to change my Windows 10 3 finger gestures back to the way they were in Windows 7?

 

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
