Laptop with touch screen #29712

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Hi I have a old Asus TP300L Series with touch screen functionality, this function only works on windows 8, works on windows 10 but with specific version, I would like to ask if can you add a feature that can disable mouse and keyboard so that I can use my touch screen functionality in any time I want it, hope this will add to your features, this helps us old user laptops with windows driver issue, I have some more ideas on your Powertoys and I guess this is the first one.

Scenario when this would be used?

If I disable mouse and keyboard I can use my touch screen even if I accidentally touch the keys on my keyboard or mousepad.

Supporting information

Due to windows updates, other laptop with the best features dont function well, others twicks it via bios but others dont have that functionality and uses 3rd party software, and this creates another issue due to the function they want is that accurate to what they need.
