Devices Enable or Disable Touch by Finger on Touch Screen in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable touch by finger for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

A touch screen, or touchscreen, is an input device that enables you to interact directly with what is displayed, rather than using a mouse, touchpad, or other such devices (other than a stylus, which is optional for most modern touch screens).

If your device (ex: laptop or tablet) has a touch screen, you can disable touch by finger without affecting other touch methods (ex: stylus pen).

This will not affect touch input by finger on the lock screen and sign-in screen.
