How to disable Edge Zoom in a touch screen monitor

Anonymous

On Windows 10, I have a touch screem monitor so visitors can explore the interactive screen. However, they can pinch and zoom in, which messes up all the information and it's contents.

I need to disable the touch pinch to zoom in/out on Edge with windows 10. The resgistry entry for Edge\Zoom is no longer available.

Do you have any idea on how to do so ? I have ran out of ideas after searching several suggestions out there.

I really appreciate it

    Hi Gustavo,

    I'm Sumit, here to answer your query at the Microsoft Community.

    You will need to use GPO. Did you try the Policy Template here?

    Hi Sumit D,

    The option ZOOM is not available in the registry. Even though you mentionned IE, I'm using Edge. However, the ZOOM option is not available for neither of them.

    Should I create it manually ?

    Hi Gustavo,

    I do see that the policy is not available for Chromium Edge. Apologies for that.

    Although I am not so sure if it will help you, but have you tried running Kiosk mode?

    Hi Sumit,

    I did search for details on Kiosk Mode, however I didn't find anything related to disable zoom. There were some setups to open with a specific zoom and such but nothing to block it.

    So unfortunately that doesn't help much :/

    Kiosk mode is a lockdown feature that offers two experiences of the browser so organizations can create, manage, and provide the best experience for their customers.

    See if it fits for use:

    You can always send feedback to Microsoft too to request a feature.
