Hi Piotr and a big thank you for the links.
Both solutions sacrifice functionality it seems.

I will go through both threads and came back if I found something I am happy with and worth sharing.

Thanks again for sharing this.

After digging through the chuwi hi12 thread and chuwi forum in another website, there is unfortunately no solution to this problem because:

• The Keyboard touchpad is recognized as a mouse and not a touchpad (If you uninstall the driver, the edge swipes are still working)
• The Edge Swipes are recognized as Shortcuts like Win + D (Hide All) when swiping down from the top edge.
• The Edge Swipe are something else entirely from the current touchpad and no one has managed to disactivate them without stopping the shortcut activation from working as well.
• To Sum Up: if you do not want the edge swipe gestures to be activated, you have to render the windows keystroke or windows shortcuts totally useless.

Correct me if I am wrong, but this is my understanding and limited testing of the situation. Without proper driver, we will not be able to change the way the Touchpad works.

I will continue being on the lookout for a solution.

Using AutoHotkey, you could probably configure it so that Win+D, for example, only gets recognizes when there’s some minor delay between pressing the keys – that way you could disable the touchpad gesture while keeping keyboard functionality. I don’t use the hotkey myself so I can’t be bothered to figure out how to do it.

I wasn’t bothered either despite trying some script yesterday!

I thought about your solution, I will try it and report back.
