    Ya I am working on unity Multi-display on Windows 10 with a HID Touch Screen Digitizer.

    And Windows has Edge Gestures when a Unity Game is running. Very annoying.

    Only thing I can think of is to place my HID TouchScreen into HID-Compatible mode and then maybe access the USB buffer directly in Unity. Since then windows does not know about the touch screen.

    Windows really should have had a Settings option to disable gestures.

    Hi @BrotenTechCorp

    If you accomplish this change please let me know how you do.

    My touchscreen is a PQlabs screen.

    Try:
    1. Open the Control Panel (icons view), and click/tap on the Mouse icon.
    2. In Mouse Properties, click/tap on the Device Settings tab, and click/tap on the Settings button.
    3. Check (enable) or uncheck (disable) the Enable Edge Swipes option, and click/tap on OK.
    4. Click/tap OK in Mouse Properties.
    Windows 10 does not always give this feature set.

    If that does not work try:

    This is for Windows 8 but some say it works on Windows 10 as well. Disable the Apps Switcher, and Charms Bar.

    +1!

    I'm also still looking to disable these "edge swipes" for a public facing fullscreen touchscreen application.
