Windows 10: need to lock the touch pad

How do I lock the touch on my laptop (windows 10)?

:)

 

When I use the 2 finger scroll on my touch pad it locks my computer.

Hi all,

Every time I use my touch pad my computer locks and brings me back to the profile login screen. This just recently started and I haven't been able to find any answers to this question online. I also have not had a recent update in the last day that would
have spawned the issue. It is extremely frustrating.

Steps I've taken:

• Shut down and restart twice
• uninstalling and reinstalling drivers
• disabling touch pad and re-enabling touch pad

Any help is greatly appreciated!

issues with touch pad gestures with a touchscreen laptop

Thanks for the response.

I have tried the steps you suggested. It showed no issues, except to restart my PC. At the point when I performed these steps, I didn't have the issue that I reported - namely, not being able to use touch-pad gestures. Maybe I should try this when the touch-pad
gestures stop working.
