How to Enable Touch Mode in Microsoft Edge
You enable Touch mode in Microsoft Edge to make its interface easier to use with a touchscreen.
Touch mode is a special setting in Microsoft Edge that enlarges interface elements like tabs and buttons, providing more space for finger taps. This feature is ideal for users of 2-in-1 laptops or Windows tablets.
When Touch mode is active, you’ll notice increased spacing between interactive elements. This helps prevent accidental clicks and makes navigation more fluid when you’re not using a mouse.
To activate Touch mode, simply navigate to Edge’s settings menu and select the appropriate option, usually found within the Appearance tab. This quick adjustment can significantly improve your browsing experience on touch-enabled devices.
Enable touch mode in Microsoft Edge by going to Settings, then Appearance. Under the Touch section, select Auto, On, or Off from the Touch mode menu. Close and reopen Edge for changes to take effect.
Why can't I use the touch screen on my laptop anymore?
If a touchscreen isn't responsive or not working correctly in Windows, try restarting the Windows device. If after the restart the touchscreen is still having problems, check for updates by following these steps: Right-click on the Start menu and then select Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options.
