Touch issues when using a Pen?
If you came here looking to disable hand input or palm rejection when a pen is connected, and used, then you can change it from the Windows 10 Settings, Devices section. Under Pen & Windows Ink, check the box which says “Ignore touch input when I am using my pen” under the Pen section.
Disable TouchScreen using Registry
While it works on Surface, and it will work on any laptop with touch. It is also simpler than changing things from the Device Manager, but since it is changing things in the Registry, make sure to take a backup.
Open Registry Editor by typing Regedit in the Run (Win + R) prompt, followed by pressing the Enter key.Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Wisp\TouchCreate a new DWORD (32 bit) with the name TouchGateDouble-click on the newly created DWORD and make sure it has the value 0
Here Zero(0) means touch will be disabled. If you keep it to One(1), then keep the touch-enabled. After rebooting, the touch functionality should be disabled permanently. Hope this helped.
