What is how to disable touchscreen on chromebook?

Here's how to disable the touchscreen on a Chromebook:

Unfortunately, there's typically no built-in setting in ChromeOS to completely disable the touchscreen functionality. This is because Chromebooks are designed with touchscreens as a core element of their user experience.

However, you can try these workarounds:

  1. Developer Mode (Advanced):

    • Enabling developer%20mode on your Chromebook gives you more control over the system but voids your warranty and might compromise security.
    • In developer mode, you might be able to use commands in the command%20line interface to disable the touchscreen driver. This is not a simple process and is not recommended for novice users. Search for specific instructions online for your Chromebook model.
  2. External Keyboard and Mouse:

    • Focus on using an external%20keyboard and mouse for navigation. This will naturally minimize your interaction with the touchscreen.
  3. Third-Party Apps/Extensions (Potentially Risky):

    • There might be third-party Chrome extensions that claim to disable touchscreen input. However, be extremely cautious when installing these, as they could pose security risks. Read reviews carefully and only install extensions from reputable sources. I cannot guarantee the safety or effectiveness of any such extensions.

Important Considerations:

  • Disabling the touchscreen entirely might cause unexpected behavior in some apps or websites optimized for touch input.
  • Modifying system settings in developer mode carries significant risks. Ensure you understand the implications before proceeding.

Because there isn't a direct, user-friendly setting, your best bet is usually to adapt your usage with an external keyboard and mouse.
