Disable the Touch Screen on Chromebook (2022)

  1. To turn off the touch screen on a Chromebook, you first need to enable a Chrome Flag from the browser. Open the Chrome browser and type chrome://flags into the address bar. Then, hit Enter.
  2. Next, search for “debugging keyboard shortcuts” or paste the below path into the address bar and hit Enter. Now, click on the drop-down menu next to it and “Enable” the chrome flag. This will turn on some advanced Chrome OS keyboard shortcuts, which are generally used by developers to debug the OS.
  3. After that, click the “Restart” button at the bottom-right corner of the browser to apply the changes.
  4. After the reboot, use the “Search + Shift + T” keyboard shortcut to disable the touch screen on your Chromebook. That’s it. To re-enable the touch screen, press the same keyboard shortcut, and the touch screen will become active again. Pretty easy, right?
