Help me disable touchpad gestures, please.

So I have an Exibel bluetooth keyboard model 38-6917/HB087 which features a touchpad.

This is a keyboard bought at Clas Ohlson Norway and does not have proper support, so I can't find any properly configured drivers.

this means that since it technically is third-party and is somehow recognized as a standard mouse I can't see the touchpad settings in the windows settings either. now, I hate gestures. I have never used them and never will do, most of all not on a damn computer which has the possibility for keyboard shortcuts, yet I have found no possible way to actually disable gestures in Windows 10 system-wide. Please, Microsoft, just let me kill the gestures.

The most annoying ones are zoom in/out and the task viewer thingy.

The touchpad settings don't show up cause it isn't recognized as a touchpad. It's somehow recognized as a standard mouse "on a" Bluetooth keyboard.

If you don't see that, your mouse does not support or it or you need to open Control Panel > Mouse and look through the settings to see if that option is available.

No, no settings related to touchpad are visible, it is listed under hardware as HID-complient mouse, type "mice and other pointing devices". Installed with a microsoft driver.

You will probably need to reach out to the hardware vendor to find out if there any options available to do so.

The problem is with the newest version of Windows. I have been working with disabled touchpad (HP) until a few days ago (option turn off the touchpad when mouse is detected). Now, I cannot find any way to turn it off.
