Disable/Enable Windows Touchscreen from an app/another device

I've never developed for windows before, I currently work on mobile and cloud, but I would like to build an app where someone can disable part of the touchscreen (example: 1/3 due to unwanted touches when showing someone something or all if they just don't want it and clean it all the time) from the task bar or another device such as phone or web browser that manages an enterprise network remotely.
What I'm wondering is
1. this possible or partially possible?
2. which windows APIs/SDKs should I use?
3. anything else I should know?
4. Can I use a PWA for the UI/if not what do I need?

I have the mobile and browser UI and backends all taken care of.

Hi @jacobcm-7152

I'm not a dev and I believe you might find better advice on a proper forum but you could have a look at PnPUtil, disable device:
