If you are running your RightBooth event on a Windows 10 touchscreen enabled system, you probably want to prevent the use of touchscreen gestures. For example, by using one finger to swipe in from the right hand edge of the screen you will gain access to the Windows 10 Action Centre. One of the more recent features in Windows is the ability to use swipe gestures on touchscreens in order to gain access to various parts of the Windows interface. This allows you to create a kiosk style interface, that locks the user into RightBooth and prevents them accessing other areas of the Windows operating system.įor example you can use the Security settings to hide the Windows Task bar and to stop various keystroke combinations from being entered using the keyboard, such as Alt-Tab to prevent switching to other apps.

I think the responsible devs thought that these gestures would be time savers, but they are the complete opposite.RightBooth events are designed to play in full screen mode and by using the RightBooth Security settings you can prevent users from being able to leave the event screen or gain access to other Windows applications. I have no idea why MS implemented this as a gesture when you instead can just long press. It shows you exactly what you get if you long press, or right click with a mouse/touchpad on the icon (Name, Pin to taskbar, close window). When I tap (either with ONE finger or with the pen) on an icon in the taskbar it triggers what I believe to be some kind of swipe from bottom gesture. If I want the task view I can use the task view button in the taskbar! I think this gesture is beyond stupid.Ģ. When I'm erasing something with the pen and get close to the left edge it always triggers the task view. I haven't had ONE single use for any of the gestures, but they are triggered a LOT and it really pisses me off. I have a surface pro 4 and I use it as a tablet a lot, especially as a notebook taking notes in OneNote when I'm in class. That's why so few are annoyed by these stupid gestures, and information is scarce. Unfortunately most people don't use Windows 10 on a tablet, and those who do probably have a hybrid and spend most time in laptop mode.

Windows 10 disable swipe from left
