How to: Disable the Microsoft Windows Edge gestures when using a Visualisation

Application example

With a TargetVisu and a touch panel (with a Visu application online) is running, the user can switch the Window screen on/off by sliding it to the right or left screen side.
This should be avoided sometimes, so an option is needed to prevent access to the Windows OS/Tabs from the Visu application.

This issue is about the task view and the Windows notification center that pops up when the user swipes in from the right or left screen side.
It is not a Codesys related feature, and currently, this can only be disabled via the registry, and is not a Codesys related feature.

Exception from the web

There are two ways to deactivate this Microsoft Windows Edge feature.

1. Windows 'Group Policy Editor'

The official way to disable touchscreen gestures is via the 'Group Policy Editor' within the Windows System.

Windows Home Edition users cannot change this setting, out of the box!
The 'Group Policy Editor' is included with Windows 10 Home - it is just not unpacked and installed.

If needed, please consult your IT department, or refer to trusted websites that describe how to reinstall the editor without damage - only via installation packages located on your system!

The 'Group Policy Editor' is called via the program file Gpedit.msc .
This can be done with the keys Windows + " R " (command prompt) and using "Gpedit.msc" there.
