    How to Turn Off / Disable Touch Friendly Contextual Menu in Windows 10

    Any news on this? How this works is horrible right now. Here are a few tips:

    1) Make the touch context menu scroll with a swipe, like things with a scroll bar do.

    2) Condition the display of the touch friendly context menu to the state of the tablet mode.

    3) Add a switch to turn this on or off in the tablet mode settings.

    Ideally you should implement point 1, ALWAYS display normal context menu when NOT in tablet mode and add a switch like this: "Use touch friendly context menu in tablet mode" on/off.

    At least with a 10" tablet normal Windows interface is easy to operate and big buttons become kinda of a burden as they allow for less things on screen (like having to scroll the context menu)

    Thank you TC. I have updated the tutorial to use "async_off" in the command instead to avoid that issue for some. *Smile
