Disable zoom/magnifier
I have a Inspiron 15-3521 I searched but couldn't find how to disable the zoom/magnifier that seems to come on randomly. I did find where it's activated by the extreme left side of the touchpad but that doesn't seem to be the case. If I go control panel - devices - touchpad there's no options there to disable it. Is there a way to disable it? I sure hope so.

The dialog box doesn't enable me to change anything. It just shows General Drivers Details Events Resources. I don't know what the 'system tray' is.
I accessed it via device manager.

I did see the touchpad in the system tray, but the zoom feature appeared to already be disabled. I changed it from a green icon which I assume means on, back to off then saved... will see what happens.

Alan - I still had the intermittent zoom icon after disabling in the system tray settings. So I then disabled 'Gestures'. It's been a couple days and so far I haven't seen the zoom

Hello Stelcom66,
I am glad to know that. However, we would check for a couple of days if the issue arises.
