Windows 8.1 disable charms bar help

After getting a new laptop 2 days back with windows 8 on i think i have upgraded to 8.1 and now i cant find a disable swipe option(in the mouse section) to stop the charms bar popping out the side of the screen Can anyone help please,thanks julie x

 

I'm still on XP.
Aint got a clue what you are talking about.

Sounds like its best to stick to XP.

 

I had got a toshiba on boxing day but it had a fault so i returned it,got a refund and bought this packard bell,both was on windows 8 and i read on google how to disable the swipe on the toshiba which i did...but i recall this laptop giving me an update option to 8.1 so i think that must of change the mouse changing options somehow

 

Thanks john,im not touchscreen either,its just when i swipe right to left the charm bar and clock shows up,its so annoying!
I tried the search bar with no results daz got as far as this but its missing the navigation bit

 

Please dont be messing your settings up,im sure an answer will arise at some point x

 

I was thinking of buying a new PC.
This has put me right off.
Can anyone explain what the hell a Charm bar is, or a Swipe, I might need to know one day.

 

I've got windows 8.1 on my laptop with no touchscreen either. The charms bar only appears when I put my cursor in the very bottom of the right hand corner. Worse for me is that other menu (not sure what it's called!) that comes up at the bottom of the screen with the start menu and customer support etc. It's supposed to disappear when you move the cursor off it unless you click on it, but mine sometimes gets stuck there and the only way to get rid of it seems to be to reboot. I hate windows 8.1!!!!

 

It's all the new, latest features from Microsoft and you'll need to install their updates to disable all their new features that don't work as well as their old stuff did.

 

Hi pete,dont be put off windows 8 is ok it just needs some getting used to..The charm bar as they call it is a strip bar with options for settings,start,share,search & devices that pops out of the right hand side of the screen,you can get it to show up by placing your curser in the top rt hand corner of the screen but also if you swipe the cursor from rt to left too fast then that makes it appear..which is annoying x

 

Ok, thanks.
Yes it sounds very annoying, I've been about 8 yrs getting my head around XP, I'm getting older, the last thing I need is to start it all over again.

 

I found what to do I had to install synpatics driver because i have synpatics touchpad so i have the enable/disable swipe option now
Here is the microsoft community page for the download link incase anyone needs to install/wants it...
