Hi, I am trying to find a way to disable the pinching action on the touch pad.. I don't need it and keep accidentally triggering it, enlarging the the words or videos and having to collapse it again. (happened 3 times just typing this) .
I believe I've asked before but never got an answer..
If there is not a way please give me suggestions on how to avoid it happening (with my fingers).

Hi @MarkinLA
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Try these steps -
1) In the address bar of the chrome browser, type - chrome://flags
2) Search for “pinch”.
3) It should be under “Pinch Scale”.
4) From the drop-down menu, select "Disable" and restart your browser.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Hi Asmita. In case you didn't recieve prior response, I was not able to find 'pinch scale' in the vast flag list..I will scroll it once more to be sure of that..Otherwise I believe I will have to accept that there is no disable pinch-zoom and try to adjust to avoiding zoom occurring..Not that important anyway..
One other thing I may have brought up is that I'd like to get a tiny bit more red and less blue in video colors and to have a brighter lit screen at full level.. I doubt this is available, but I will check flags for this too.
No need reply unless you have more advice
Thank you again,
