How do I disable my touch screen, and why does it periodically re-enable itself?

I can't stand the touch screen. It freaks out when I or my dog, or my wife accidentally touch the screen. I've disabled it before, but it came back, and I can't remember how I did it. I found a locked thread that listed steps starting with Windows + X, then
select control panel. As often happens, it fails on step 2 because the menu that comes up with Windows + X does not contain a control panel option. Searching for pen and touch settings gets me nowhere.

Please help.

 

Recover your username result screen won’t let me sign-in. Windows 10

When I opened my laptop today, I was shown a list of new things I could do with Windows 10. When I tried to go past that, I was asked to sign in. A screen said i needed be sure I was using the correct username. I had a text sent to me with email address confirmation code which I entered on online screen.
A screen now says
Microsoft
Recover your username

Xxx xxx xxxx (my phone number) is associated with the following username:

My correct email address is listed under that.

The Sign-in button below that on the right is grayed out and won’t let me sign in. I have shut down and restarted my computer and also waited an hour.

How can I get my computer to let me sign in?

 

Touch screens

I can do 60 words per minute on my phone, perhaps more now as I've got used to the phone. ( htc desire z, using the stock onscreen keyboard)

Touch screen + predictive text I recon I could equal my keyboard typing speed. Maybe beat it depending on how advance the predictions are.

( hard to use predictive software on traditional keyboards as there is no way to quickly choose the suggested word, where as touch screen keyboards can have the suggested words appear above the function keys)
