Windows 10: Pinch zoom on touchscreens

I want to know why it is not possible to disable pinch zoom? Not for OS in general and not also for web browsers. A lot of people is asking because it is annoying problem for touchscreen kiosk projects.

I have read that it is related not of touch screen itself, but mouse drivers(?). Unfortunately synaptic drivers is not solution for desktop PC's with touch screen. With respect to browsers, there is no plugins, no working extensions that prevent zoom, and it is not doable even with HTML. Just want to know Why?

Add disable touch to Action Center

Suggest adding a Disable/Enable Touch Screen to Windows 10 Action Center to make it quick and easy.

Many users use touch screen laptops as Desktop functionality only, but their touch pad driver does not

support disabling pinch/zoom.

There are many descriptions on how to disable pinch/zoom, that do not work on devices without

pinch/zoom disable.

Setting the mode to Desktop is no help.

The suggestion is an easy fix for a lack of driver functionality.

It would also help those with cracked screens where the touchscreen functionality is broken.

Some users reports it is difficult to disable the touchscreen in device manager due to the cracked screen,

while a simple click on the Action Center would be much easier and more efficient.

 

Disabling Zoom in IE11 with Windows 10

Current OS: Windows 10 IOTx64bit - LTSB2016

Hi,

I'm still having trouble disabling the Pinch to Zoom in Internet Explorer 11

We are not using Synpatics so the option to change the "Device Settings" in control panel is not there.

I've tried changing the registry to disable the zoom or other features like swipe. Issues still remains.

(HKLM\Software\Microsoft Internet Explorer\Zoom -> Add DWORD "ZoomDisabled" and set value to 1)

Any other ideas on how to disable the pinch to zoom in Internet Explorer 11?

Note: I'm using a Touchscreen System (Point of Sale) and not a trackpad.

 

Apparently, one way could be...

Thanks for suggestion, I have tried, but it doesn't work. Not sure how it could be possible to kill explorer incorrectly.

 

Was this ever figured out?? I'm having this issue too with IE 11 on Windows 10.
