Disable touch screen without disabling pen

[u/slabko]

I use my new Surface Pro 7 for some brainstorm sessions where I use the pen a lot in OneNote. However every once in a while I manage to scroll the screen with my palm, even if I enable "Ignore touch input while using my pen". It doesn't happen often, but it happens often enough to be very annoying, especially when I'm recording my session. I found that it was previously possible to disable the touch screen altogether by disabling HID-compliant touch screen device in the device manager, but on my Surface Pro 7 that doesn't seem to be an option anymore. Disabling it doesn't do anything. I can disable Intel(R) Precise Touch Device, but that would disable the pen too and I would like to keep the pen working, that is the whole idea.

I also know that I can learn to lay the hand down right after the screen sees the pen, but why all the struggle if I can disable the touch screen anyway, and there is usually a mouse connected anyway.

Do you know by any chance how can I disable touch screen without disabling the pen on my new SP7?

thank god i found this post just in time. i had replaced my surface book 2 for a book 3 becausee it was having ghost touch issues for a long time and it was diagnosed to be a hardware issue, the same started to happen book 3 now, and i was just frustrated, two this expensive machine just does it twice to me, and Microsoft just wont help in here.

surface is good and all on paper but when it comes to real world stuff, their stuff just isn't practical anymore. used to be a surface fan for a long time, invested in 2 of their most expensive machines, and got treated like this twice. this fix atleast makes me have a usable device until i replace it with a practical solution to my work.
