How to Disable Your Touchscreen in Windows 10
Touchscreens can be disabled in Windows 10 through the Device Manager, which you can access through the Control Panel or directly from the search box on your taskbar. The device manager is where Windows 10 keeps track of all your devices, and it’s also where you can disable or enable any device that’s connected to your computer.
Reasons to Turn off a Touchscreen
Touchscreen inputs are the most useful on tablets and 2-in-1 devices. If you find that the touchscreen on your traditional laptop is more of a headache than anything else, disable it. Another reason to disable a touchscreen is to prevent children from touching the screen when you’re trying to watch a video or get some work done. Also, in some cases, screens malfunction and behave as if you’re touching them when you aren’t. The procedure for disabling a touchscreen in Windows 10 works the same way on all types of devices, including laptops, desktops, tablets, 2-in-1 devices, and computers from manufacturers such as HP and Dell.
