Hello,

Every time my cursor reaches the bottom of my screen in a quick movement , it automatically opens up the Windows ''Tabs'' like Alt+Tab would do. The issue is whenever I am in a game and have to scroll down fast , it minimizes the game and go to the ''tabs''. Is there a way to prevent/disable this from happening on Windows 10?

I've made sure that all my games were fullscreen but it seems that it still think that I want to Alt Tab when I make a sudden downward movement with the cursor.

I've looked around and I haven't seen any other similar issues :/
(I've also tried to disable the Win10 ''Sets'' but to no avail)

Thank you!

Hi, this sounds like what is known as "mouse gestures" where you make movements with your mouse (such as side to side really quick) to do some type of action in Windows like minimize all Windows / Show Desktop.

Look in your Mouse settings / software to see if you can find any "Mouse Gestures" type of settings and disable them.

Also look in Window Settings / Devices / Mouse. See this page: https://www.howtogeek.com/227073/how-to-use-and-configure-windows-10%E2%80%99s-gestures-on-a-laptop-touchpad/
