To turn off the touchscreen on a Samsung laptop, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Open the Device Manager
– Click on the Start menu and type “Device Manager” in the search bar. Click on the Device Manager option that appears in the search results.
– Alternatively, you can press the Windows key + X and select Device Manager from the menu.
Step 2: Expand the Human Interface Devices section
– In the Device Manager window, look for the “Human Interface Devices” option. It is usually located towards the bottom of the list.
– Click on the arrow to the left of “Human Interface Devices” to expand and show the hardware devices under that section.
Step 3: Find the HID-compliant touch screen device
– Scroll through the list of devices under the “Human Interface Devices” section and look for the HID-compliant touch screen device. It might have a slightly different name depending on your specific laptop model.
Step 4: Disable the touch screen device
– Once you have located the HID-compliant touch screen device, right-click on it to open a context menu.
– In the context menu, select the “Disable device” option. This will disable the touch screen functionality on your laptop.
Step 5: Confirm the action
– A confirmation dialog box will appear asking if you are sure you want to disable the device. Click on the “Yes” button to proceed.
Step 6: Restart your laptop (optional)
– Although not always necessary, it is recommended to restart your laptop after disabling the touch screen device. This ensures that the changes take effect properly.
After following these steps, the touch screen on your Samsung laptop should be disabled. You can re-enable it by following the same steps but selecting the “Enable device” option instead of “Disable device” in the Device Manager.
It’s worth mentioning that disabling the touch screen can be useful in certain situations, such as when you want to prevent accidental touches or if the touch screen is not functioning correctly. However, keep in mind that disabling the touch screen permanently may limit the functionality of certain applications or features that rely on touch input.
