    how can I reduce the touchscreen sensitivity on windows 10?

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. Let me assist you.

    I suggest you to try the below steps to adjust the touch sensitivity of the system.

    Pen and Touch settings:

    • Type Pen and Touch in the Search bar.
    • Go to Pen and Touch settings.
    • Depending on your device, you may see a variety of tabs, such as
      Pen Options      , Flicks, or Touch.
    • You can adjust the sensitivity of your touch device by adjusting sliders located in these tabs. For example, to adjust the sensitivity of a double-tap on your touch device, on the
      Touch tab, tap Double-tap, and then tap
      Settings      .
    • Drag the sliders to change the sensitivity. You can test your new settings by double-tapping the graphic at the bottom of window.


    Calibrate the touch display:

    • Type Calibrate on the Search bar.
    • Tap on Calibrate the screen for pen or touch input.
    • Select the Calibrate button, and follow the tool’s instructions.


    Note: Cleaning the screen can improve touch sensitivity. Most PC manufacturers recommend turning off the PC and using a microfiber cloth, available at most electronic stores.

    Any barriers between your fingers and the display, including gloves, a protective case, sheet or film, or even water or lotion on your hands, can also impair touch sensitivity. If any of these conditions apply to you, try testing the device without
    such conditions.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    E7 Touch Screen - How to reduce sensitivity

    Touch screen sensitivity is not the one we can control in E7, personally I'll consider it as responsive than sensitive. You can take it to Nokia care center but I haven't come across any one saying such calibration done by them to reduce screen sensitivity.
