Just want to disable the swipe from edges to prevent user from accessing other application but just my application as currently opened, and will later enable the swipe edges again once my application is closed (back to normal).
the application running is a windows form (not WPF) c# app coming from the desktop and run in the windows 10 tablet.
is there any other way to prevent user from swiping the edges and from opening the windows respective to each edge from edge swipe

I know this thread is old, but couldn't find concise and clear solution anywhere. Had the same issue with our kiosk application (WIN7 PC's automatically updated to WIN 10). Tried everything from registry/group policy changes, to dirty windows shell hacks - nothing worked. So thanks to link Koen_R provided managed to get it working (code below is Ron Schuler's answer converted from VB to c#).
Add that to your namespace and just call it when Form is Shown (winforms) or Window has loaded (WPF).
And that's it - edge swipes will stop working for as long as application is running and windows is active. Once you close it - swipes will be working again.

Take a look at the PKEY_EdgeGesture_DisableTouchWhenFullscreen function that was introduced with Windows 8.1.
I just created a small test and it appears to works on Windows 10 (build 10586) as well. Keep in mind that this only works for single-window solutions where the Window is running full screen. It works with both WPF and WinForms application. You need to pass a HWND of the window to the function.
You can find an example in this other question.

Edge swipe navigation (swipe to go backwards/forwards) is causing an erratic user experience in our touch-first Vue.js app because users are suddenly warped to another screen. Is there a way to completely disable swipe navigation in Microsoft Edge?
I've touch-action: none; in the body and touch-action: pan-x / pan-y on certain elements. This however does not give the desired result.

Microsoft has introduced a bunch of new touchpad gesture with Windows 10. These new touchpad gestures allow you quickly switch between running apps, open task view, open Cortana, and perform many other jobs by simply moving two or more fingers on your laptop’s touchpad.
New touchpad gestures in Windows 10
In addition to the standard gestures like to tap to click, two finger tap to right-click, and pinch to zoom, the following new gestures are available in Windows 10.
#Three finger tap – open Cortana
# Three finger drags and slides – switch apps
# Three finger up – open task view
# Three finger down – show desktop
# Four finger tap – open action center
Although these gestures help you quickly switch between apps and get your job done quickly, not all users like these gestures offered in Windows 10. Since all these actions can be performed using keyboard shortcuts as well, many users prefer using keyboard shortcuts over touchpad gestures.
If you’re not using one or more touchpad gestures and want to turn them off, you can do so by following given below instructions. One can also use these directions to turn on touchpad gestures in Windows 10.
NOTE: If you want to completely turn off the touchpad, please refer to our 3 ways to turn off the touchpad in Windows 10 guide.

This method is only for notebooks with precision touchpad. To check if your laptop’s touchpad is precision or not, please follow the directions in Step1 to 4.

Turn on or off the touchpad gestures you want to enable or disable and then close Settings app. That’s it!
If your laptop is not equipped with precision touchpad, you will only see the option to change the touchpad delay before clicks work (to avoid accidentally moving mouse cursor while typing).
Turn on or off touchpad gestures via Control Panel
Most of the laptops, including those that don’t have precision touchpad, shipped post the release of Windows 8 (happened in October 2012) offer multi-touch gestures. If the touchpad driver has been updated to Windows 10, your non-precision touchpad also likely offers most of the gestures if not all.
Step 1: In the Start menu search box or Run command box, type Main.cpl and then press Enter key to open Mouse properties. This can also be launched by opening Control Panel, changing View by to Small icons, and then clicking Mouse.
Step 2: Once Mouse Properties is launched, click on the last tab named ClickPad, Thinkpad or Touchpad.
