I've got a (completely updated) windows 10 pro laptop that doesn't have the option to disable 3/4 finger gestures under touchpad settings, only to adjust sensitivity. I need to turn 3/4 finger gestures off without disabling the touchpad, they make the touchpad useless. Ideally I could turn off that setting and still use the touchpad.

After looking for help the only answers found refer to turning the touchpad off or checking under settings/devices/touchpad, neither are helpful in this situation.

If its possible to find it in registry and disable them it would be great, its irritating going to desktop constantly.

    Three fingers to off:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PrecisionTouchPad]
    "ThreeFingerSlideEnabled"=dword:00000000

    Four fingers to off:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PrecisionTouchPad]
    "FourFingerSlideEnabled"=dword:00000000
