I'm using a Windows laptop provided by my school and want to turn off the touchscreen. I may not have administrator access, so I'm wondering whether there's a keyboard shortcut, a Device Manager setting, or another safe way to disable it without affecting the rest of the laptop.

Some laptop models have a dedicated touchscreen toggle or keyboard shortcut, but the key combination varies by manufacturer. Check the keyboard icons or the laptop’s support guide. If the screen is malfunctioning, IT may also be able to disable the HID-compliant touch screen in Device Manager and restart the laptop.
The most reliable option is to ask the school’s IT department. Managed laptops often block Device Manager changes, and they may have configured the device so only administrators can disable hardware features.
