Touch Screen Gestures for Windows 11

To turn on the touch gestures:

  • Open the Settings application and scroll to Bluetooth & devices
  • Then scroll down to Touch  and Turn on Three- and four-finger touch gestures

Note: Multi-touch features in applications may not work when touch gestures are enabled. You can turn off the Three- and four-finger touch gestures in your settings, to enjoy the application.
