My daughter has CP and her hand enables the pinch zoom - is there a way to disable pinch zoom on the surface pro 3?

I have contacted microsoft multiple times, they state you can disable touch altogether which is not what I want to accomplish - she can get around the system very well

    Why did somebody vote to close a question about a Windows touch device? **This question is 100% on topic.** – Ramhound Jan 14 '15 at 13:58
  • Agreed. The Surface Pro 3 is a conventional Windows device and is clearly on-topic for Super User. – bwDraco Jan 14 '15 at 18:23

This is interesting it's one that I've battled with on my two Windows 8 tablets and an all-in-one PC.

I found a fix for one of my tablets which would be worth a go:

  • Click on Start ORB

  • Type settings in the search

  • Click on Mouse (which will bringup a mouse control panel in desktop mode)

  • There will be a tab at the top most likely far right which references the touch screen

  • Under this the touchscreen should be listed and give the ability to edit the settings for that device

  • You can untick the pinch to zoom here

This appeared on one of my tablets but not on the other, let me know how you get on.
