Hello,
I've been using 8.1 lately and I quite dislike the gestures and charms, so I disabled as many of them as I could. Unfortunately, there is one gesture which still remains active and I cannot seem to find any guides or information on how to disable it.
The gesture I'm talking about is the top-edge grabber/pull down gesture which is supposed to be a way to multitask by splitting the monitor, I guess. When I drag down from the top-center of the screen, it splits my monitor in half, snaps a window to the left or right side of the monitor, and makes the opposing half of the monitor into Modern UI. If I drag all the way down, it exits the desktop completely and brings up the Start screen instead.
I often activate this "feature" by mistake when trying to click/drag to resize windows that are close to the top edge of my screen. I would really like to disable this.
I have applied all the registry tweaks I know of in order to disable the Charms bar and Hot Corners, but I cannot find any information on the entire top edge "feature."
The specific gesture I'm talking about can be seen in this video starting at the 1minute mark: How to use touch gestures on Windows 8.1 - YouTube
Any information on how to disable this would be great, as this gesture is currently about to drive me crazy. Thanks in advance!
