I saw some similar questions here, but they applied to a different model of laptop and the answers they provided didn't work as my settings are different. I tried checking the Device Manager but I don't see any "HID-compliant touch screen" under the "Human Interface Devices" section. I've added a screenshot of the relevant section in Device Manager, but I'm unsure of which entry needs to be changed to disable the touch screen functionality.

It maybe under mice and other pointing devices, like in this image:
Right click and choose disable.
It may be worth a try checking the Control Panel.
