Trackpad - enlarging instead of scrolling with 2-fingers action

[Halina_46]

Hello,I just purchased a new laptop and I am noticing  a very strange behavior of the trackpad; in Edge, when using two fingers action to scroll down the page, after two strokes instead of scrolling, the content on the page is enlarged to a maximum size. At the same time, the browser shows it's in 100% size (as if not enlarged at all). This action than trickles down to the desktop, where all icons get enlarged to an enormous size. From there, there is no recovery other than closing the browser.

I own another HP laptop (along with dell and lenovo)  but have never seen  a behavior like this. I cannot tell if this is a software issue or a bad track pad. This laptop is literally 4 days old and I am considering returning it unless this can be addressed somehow.
Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

thank you
