Windows 10: ghost touch in my touchscreen

My touch screen on my laptop constantly glitches in that it will have a ghost touch being that it appears someone is touching the screen but I am not. i have no control when this happens and cannot get my mouse back. This glitches so often and bad to the point that I have had to disable my touch screen entirely. How can I fix this? I have tried updating the driver for the touch screen as well as cleaning the screen and neither have worked.

Lenovo Laptop Ghost Touching

Hi,

I've emailed previously about the ghost-touching issue on my Lenovo laptop.

The previous Microsoft assistant asked me to disable all HID-complaint device options. (Disable touch-screen).

I completed the instructions and have been waiting for a reply for a while; on how to resolve this issue and re-enable my touchscreen.

Please inform me on the next step to resolve this ghost touching ASAP.

Thanks

 

Dell Inspiron 13 5378 "Ghost Clicking"

Hi IcyGreenDonut,

Experiencing "Ghost Clicking" on your laptop could be both a software or a hardware issue. For us to sort this out, I suggest uninstalling the driver and let Windows reinstall it. Follow these steps:

1. Right-click the Windows key and select Device Manager.
2. Expand the Human Interface Devices category, right-click your
   HID-compliant touch screen, then click Uninstall.
3. Restart your laptop.

If the issue persists, then I recommend that you get in touch with the Dell Support Team or visit their support site through
this link for assistance in updating the touchscreen firmware as the issue is leaning towards becoming a hardware issue, specifically the touchscreen.

Should you need more information or have further queries, feel free to update this thread.

Regards.
