Disabling multi-touch device capabilities and giving mouse interface higher priority

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there’s a way to disable multi-touch capabilities for a multi-touch device, so that it is served by a mouse driver rather than MTConfig.sys for Win7+? I have tried the following:

  • fiddled with the standard multi-touch UI to disable the multi-touch interface
  • disabled specific USB sub-devices

But I still could not enforce the device to be advertised as a mouse-only device.
The only thing that worked is stopping the MTConfig.sys service altogether, this way my external device is recognised as a mouse and behaves as expected. This is not a great solution as I don’t want to disable all multi-touch devices on the system, rather only a specific one.

I have found an old thread with a similar question:

Question: Is there a way to change the defualt behavior of mtconfig.sys so
that I can control the mode and device? maybe through a reg setting or a
control panel applet?

But it was left unanswered. I would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks.
