Is there a way to have two screens (one of them touch) with the mouse not affected by touch input?

So.. in the case of having two screen, one of them being a little touchscreen, how do you stop the touch input from repositioning the mouse cursor? At the moment, if I do anything at all with the touchscreen then I need to then move the cursor back on to the main monitor (which isn't a touchscreen). I really want them working independently. Is there some Windows setting that let's you do this? I'm on Windows 11 here.

Turn it off?  Touchscreens can usually have their touch sensitivity disabled.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

Currently no that's not possible. The touchscreen and mouse are always linked.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So you want a hack to get around not having a touchscreen off option to leave the touchscreen on, but not functional.  Does it have sensitivity options? Turning some of them way way up may make it incapable of detecting anything.

I had the same issue as you - I had bought a touchscreen specifically to use with Cubase only for it not to be usable in the way I intended. Touching my mix console faders always caused the mouse pointer to move to the touchscreen. Finally got it working the way I wanted it using Touch Mouse Tools. There are probably other solutions but this worked fine for me.
