This corner presents the latest operating system features being tested in Windows 11 Insider Preview builds. However, as a result of testing, the presented functions may not be included in the commercial version of the operating system. Please note this in advance.

The Bluetooth and devices page in the Settings app

On Windows 11 devices with a touchpad, you can turn on/off three- or four-finger touch gestures on Bluetooth and devices in the Settings app – Touch page.

Windows 11 currently supports the following gestures, but you can disable three or more touch gestures (those marked with *) here. It's only explicitly mentioned on the help page, and Windows 11 2022 Update (version 22H2) supports more touch gestures, so I'd like to take advantage of it.

However, surprisingly, there was no option to disable the 'Edge Gesture', which involves 'swiping in from the edge of the screen'. The preview version below has a new GUI option to manage it, and you can disable edge gestures if you want to avoid wrong operations or restrict user operations.

New option to manage edge gestures

Features being tested in Windows 11 Insider Preview builds may be shelved, but if there are no major issues, it's likely that the feature will eventually be brought to the retail version of Windows 11.
