  • Win 10 Professional.
  • Surface Pro 4.

    I want to DISABLE, the right/left edge-swipe (technical jargon, unknown to me).

    I use my OneNote-2016 all the time for taking notes and so I am writing on the screen as the SurfacePro4 is made to do. All the time my arm is swiping the left or right edge and these swiping gestures keep opening up and destroying my productivity.


Images for clarity below.

Ref to (image-1): Red rectangle is the area in which my hand or arm "swipes" and causing the action that is in the image; the same action can be acquired by touching the button/icon in the smaller red rectangle in the image. In this image the Action is "Task View".

Ref to (image-2): Red rectangle is the area in which my hand or arm "swipes" and causing the action that is in the image; the same action can be acquired by touching the button/icon in the smaller red rectangle in the image. In this image the Action is "New Notifications" and/or "Action Center".
