turn off touchpad gestures

[rbme2]

HP Pavilion 15z touch.
Anyway to turn off the mouse/touchpad  gestures?  Three finger swipe shows open apps. two finger swipe inward and outward increases and decrease  font size etc..   I don't want any of that. I want to turn the touchpad gestures OFF.  Under settings mouse and touchpad, there is NO options for gestures what so ever.   HELP

@rbme2,

I reviewed your post and I understand that you want to turn off the touchpad gestures on your computer.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

To control the gestures, follow the below steps.

1. Go to the "Devices" bit under the new "Settings" screen and select "Mouse & Touchpad" then at the bottom is "Additional mouse options".

OR

Go to the control panel and select "Mouse".

1. When you select that you will get a tab for "Device Settings", select the "Synaptics TouchPad" then click "Settings", this will show you all of the gestures and allow you to turn them on or off.

Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!

Thanks for the reply.  There isn't any gesture settings found under the mouse and touchpad option under the control panel. Even when you go into the advanced settings. Nothing about Synaptics either.  However, I did find ELAN touchpad settings under the main menu program list.  I was able to disable gestures i didn't want.
