4 Finger Swipe Not Working

Windows 10 has touchpad gestures that everyone should know. You'll need a precision touchpad to use them all, but experiment to see which ones work on your PC. Best mame emulator. We'll show you how the gestures look on a Surface Pro 3.

  1. Scroll: Place two fingers on the touchpad and slide horizontally or vertically.
  2. Zoom in or out: Place two fingers on the touchpad and pinch in or stretch out.
  3. Show more commands (similar to right-clicking): Tap the touchpad with two fingers, or press in the lower-right corner.
  4. Drag windows: Double-tap and drag the menu bar (top of app window)
  5. See all open windows: Place three fingers on the touchpad and swipe them away from you.
  6. Show Task view: If you're viewing all open windows (from the step above), swipe up again with three fingers.
  7. Show the desktop: Place three fingers on the touchpad and swipe them towards yourself.
  8. Switch between open windows: Place three fingers on the touchpad and swipe right or left.
  9. Cortana/Action Center: Tap the touchpad with three fingers.

How to check if your PC has a precision touchpad

Swipe

Description of bug/feature request/question: I tried to bind the cmd+tab command to the 4 finger swipe but when I try to use it It switches. Switch between open windows: Place three fingers on the touchpad and swipe right or left. Open Cortana: Tap three fingers on the touchpad. Open action center: Tap four fingers on the touchpad. Switch virtual desktops: Place four fingers on the touchpad and swipe right or left. Some of these gestures will only work with precision touchpads.

Precision touchpads are a new kind of touchpad designed for PCs that run Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1, and Windows 10. They're great for using a variety of touch gestures to get around your PC quickly. To find out if your PC has a precision touchpad, go to Settings > Devices > Mouse & touchpad. Look for the message, 'Your PC has a precision touchpad.' You can also change or disable gestures here.
