How to Turn Off the Touch Screen on a Chromebook

If you have only recently started using a Chromebook, you might want to learn some basics. For example, you should learn how to split the screen or know the methods to record the screen on a Chromebook. Furthermore, if your Chromebook comes with a touch screen, you can turn off the touch screen display to avoid accidental mistouches. Moreover, ChromeOS has a bizarre touchscreen issue that crops up when the Chromebook gets warm. So to avoid such issues, you need to learn how to turn off the touch screen on a Chromebook.

1. Open the Chrome browser and type chrome://flags into the address bar. Then, hit Enter.

6. To re-enable the touch screen, press the same keyboard shortcut, and the touch screen will become active again.

So these are the quick steps you need to follow to disable the touch screen on your Chromebook. While I like using the touchscreen panel on my Chromebook, sometimes it causes mistouch issues even when you are just using the keyboard. Anyway, that’s all for this guide.
