Windows 8.1 Tip: How to Disable Hot Corners

June 01 2015

techhelp windows 8 hot cornersWindows 8/8.1 features so-called "hot corners," which are particularly useful on a touchscreen device. Tap or click a corner of the touchscreen and watch something happen. (For example, tap or click the top, right corner and the Charms bar displays.)

This is fine when you're tapping a touchscreen, but it sometimes gets in the way when using a PC with a mouse – especially in the desktop environment. Fortunately, in Windows 8.1, Microsoft gives you the option of disabling the top, left and right hot corners.

To do this:

  1. Go to the desktop.
  2. Right-click an open area of the taskbar, and select Properties to display the Taskbar and Navigation Properties dialog box.
  3. Click the Navigation tab.
  4. Go to the Corner Navigation section, and uncheck the first two options.
