How To Turn Off Navigation Key Vibration on Windows 10 Mobile Devices

 

All Windows 10 Mobile devices have a set of navigation keys aligned at the bottom of the device.

Some older hardware actually has physical keys for navigating the operating system while more recent devices have software keys that are displayed at the bottom of the devices screen when it is turned on.

By default, Windows 10 Mobile vibrates those keys when they are pressed as a feedback system to the device user.

While many find that handy there is actually an option to turn that vibration feedback off in the Settings app for Windows 10.

This gallery will show you those exact steps and don't worry if you find another way to do it as well because in current builds of Windows 10 there just happens to be a second method for turning the vibration off.

I will show you both of them in this how to process.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
