ASUS USERS: To do this at least on an Asus Q550 LF, take the steps he offers and then when you get to Hardware and Sound, scroll down to ASUS Smart Gestures. Find edge gestures and turn them off. Pretty much the same as he describes but they are called something slightly different under Hardware and Sound. Horrible feature. Thanks, Paul Press.

+EuphoniaPooch Also, if you are on an Asus machine and the smart gestures option does not display in hardware and sound click the up arrow "show hidden icons" at the bottom right of the screen and the Asus smart gesture icon should be there. This was way more difficult than it had to be.

God bless u man. The touchpad was really annoying and I just couldn't find my way around in the computer to get rid of it.
@urgetopreserve8 жыл бұрын
Thank you! The track pad has driven me crazy for six months. I followed your instructions and turned off the swipe as well as the pinch/spread. Now if I could only get the click to respond consistently!
@johnstewart28099 жыл бұрын
Thanks for posting. Watched the video and decided not to break my Toshiba laptop into pieces. Mine kept zooming in and out while surfing the web. Figured out the "pinch/zoom" was really not something I'd use but was extremely annoying.

Worked great. The menu was slightly different for the Lenovo Y40 laptop device's touchpad but it was in the same place and easy to navigate.

Outstanding - I was ready to punch a hole in my laptop because of this issue and the guidance for Windows 8.1 referenced non existent General settings and/or other PC Settings categories that didn't come close. Thank you very much and I wish contributors to these help forums would first test their instructions before publishing.

@paulpress55519 жыл бұрын
I believe for the developers it was a classic example of what happens when just because you can do as something, doesn't mean you should. They should've kept it simple(KISS). Im sure a cyborg would love all the gestures. Happy this vid has helped!

As you said, the model of your machine can vary. I finally found the path for my 2 year old cheapo HP laptop with 8.1. I managed to get rid of the swipe feature when it was new, but the machine decided to crash and reset all factory settings with System Recovery. The Mouse page did not have Touchpad tab. It had Device Settings. Click that, which shows device "Synaptics TouchPad V7.5 on PS/2 port." Click on Settings and there it is! Unclicked "Enable Edge Swipes."VIOLA!

Thanks So Much, It works just fine on HP Pavillion dm4-2070us, edge side swipes were on a different tab, after disable it, the laptop is now better, Thank You :)
@missliss2581able8 жыл бұрын
for anyone still having issues on 8.1, i just went to the control panel main screen and typed "mouse" in the search bar. the very first thing that came up was "change mouse settings" and I was able to turn off the edge scrolling from there. thank god because that was so aggravating. hope that helps anyone still having issues.
