changing size

[ginnykins]

When I have the address bar up and I'm looking for something on the internet or I'm playing a game suddenly my laptop changes it's size and I screw up a lot of things.  Does anyone know how to stop my page from shrinking or enlarging while I'm doing work on it?  Like, is there a lock in my computer somewhere that I can click on to stop my page from getting bigger or smaller?

Thanks for your help.

Hello @ginnykins

Which browser are you using when this happens?

Usually, random clicks or touches in a browser are a result of an over sensitive Touchpad.

If you go to All Settings>Devices>Mouse & touchpad>Additional mouse options and choose the Clickpad Settings tab, click the ClickPad Settings button.

Under MultiFinger Gestures, uncheck Pinch Zoom. You  maight have to disable Two Finger Scrolling also.

Click OK, then OK again.

If that does not help, Go back and under Tapping, uncheck two, three and four finger tapping.

In the Settings dialog windows for Mouse and touchpad, you can change the Touchpad sensitivity drop down box to Long delay.

There used to be a Sensitivity Slider but Microsoft has done away with that in Windows 10 now. 😞

Let me know if this helps.

Thank you.  I just did it, so it may take some time to see any results.  That darn tab is so frustrating.  I'll be reading something and then suddenly it will jump to 400 or drop to 25.  Annoying thing!

Thank you for your helkp, I sure do appreciate it.
