How to disable the touch features in Windows
With a few simple tricks follow, the possibility to disable the touch functions of our tablet with Windows 8.1 is the objective that we have raised us to do for now.

Of course, we have to take into account many aspects before beginning to perform this task, despite being a fully reversible process, certain drawbacks that require the user of your mobile device may occur (obviously, the tablet), take it to technical maintenance to bring it back to the original factory State. It is for this reason that we will then describe the reasons, motives, requirements and a few tools that we have at hand to be able to disable these touch functions on our tablet with Windows 8.1.

Microsoft came to integrate a special feature at the beginning of Windows 8, something that was easy to make and which relied on only having to use a small option in the Control Panel, place where you should select the “deactivation of the touchscreen”.

For some strange reason, Microsoft came to remove this feature, staying as a “little secret”, because despite not being visible feature, well you can use it is manually as we will indicate below:

  • Iniciar nuestro sistema operativo de Windows 8.1. Es necesario tener la más reciente actualización de este sistema operativo, por lo que te recomendamos realizarlo de acuerdo a lo que indicamos en un post anterior.
  • Hacer clic en el nuevo Botón de Inicio.
    De las opciones mostradas elegimos la que dice “Sistemas“.
  • Ahora seleccionamos el vínculo del lado superior izquierdo que dice “Administrador de Dispositivos“.
  • Desplegamos el contenido del grupo “Human Interface Device“.

  • We locate the option shown in the image below and it is within this group.
  • We do click with our mouse right button.
  • The context menu chose the option that says “turn off”.
  • We confirm our action to close the window.

The last steps suggested above are very important and we must take them into account before confirming the proposed action. This must to that user should be aware of what is going be, i.e., that in a few seconds more, touch this operating system features will be disabled completely.

Now, if we are to do this task required that we have at hand a keyboard and a mouse so the entire procedure can be reversible.

From the beginning when we proceed, we have connected both the keyboard and the mouse, since these accessories have to be identified and logically, installed with the respective drivers of Windows 8.1 in the tablet which we are operating.

For that reason I need a keyboard and mouse connected to the tablet?
As well, while the entire process may be it only using tactile functions, once they are disabled we have no option to re-enable them since the screen, will not recognize some kind of gesture that we do with our fingers.

Then, if at a given moment we want to activate these touch features in Windows 8.1, we must support both the keyboard and the mouse to navigate to the “Device Manager” and thus, back in the process.

It is worth mentioning, that the suggested process would be a temporary task, since at no time we would need a Tablet where its tactile functions are no longer present, as it is the main characteristic of one of these devices.

Using both the mouse and keyboard can return to the earlier suggested steps but now, in order to activate the touch functions again. [banner_abajo]
