There may be a dedicated button or a tap gesture that lets you do this. If you find it’s a problem when you’re typing, consider disabling the touchpad when you type. If you genuinely find scrolling via touchpad to be a hindrance, disable it.

That said, this isn’t something you should do just because you can. If you happen to use a mouse with your laptop, and quite a few people do, you won’t miss anything. You can use the arrow keys and the page up/down keys to vertically scroll them. We should mention that the touchpad isn’t the only way to scroll a web page or an app window. If you often find yourself accidentally scrolling when you don’t mean to, you can disable scrolling via touchpad on Windows 10. In the absence of a mouse wheel, a touchpad supports this easy to execute gesture so that you don’t have to drag the scroll bars to do when you need to scroll a window. The two finger swipe though is often executed when you don’t mean for it and that’s the gesture that’s normally associated with the scroll function.

Some gestures, like the four or three finger swipe down are highly unlikely to be executed accidentally. Gestures are executed by dragging a combination of two, three, or four fingers across the touchpad. Precision touchpads allow you navigate our device via gestures.
