We have a Windows 10 PC configured for an embedded application. There is no mouse or keyboard attached to the system and the user interacts with the software only via a touchscreen.
Whenever you touch the screen, a small transparent circle briefly appears where you clicked. After about 2-3s, the circle disappears. Similarly, if you click and hold a spot on the touchscreen, a small black square is briefly displayed on the screen.
I'd like to turn off these features and am assuming they are a combination of a few Windows 10 settings and/or hardware settings, but I cannot find them in Windows Settings or Device Manager.
How do I turn off these effects?

You can find touch feedback settings here:
- Windows Settings > Ease of Access
- Click
Other options > Visual options - Find the
Touch feedbacksection - Disable
Show visual feedback when I touch the screen
Note! Windows 10 only displays Touch feedback settings if touch-enabled hardware was detected on power up. If you connect the PC to a standard, non-touch monitor offline...you will not see these settings and cannot configure them (except perhaps via the registry)! This is confusing and (in my view) a Windows 10 bug.
