Windows 10: HID Driver Issue - touch screen driver keeps re-installing automatically after...

Hello....I have an HP all in one touch screen desktop and recently I've noticed an issue with top left corner of screen. There are 3 clear dots and the mouse pointer keeps hovering that way and clicking by itself. After searching and trying many things online, I've figured it is the touch screen driver that's causing the problem. However, the driver keeps reinstalling and causing issues after I disable it or uninstall it. I would really like to disable completely not temporarily so the problem doesn't keep coming back. Please help.

:)

Touch Screen Driver Missing

Hi Reza,

I understand that the touch screen driver is missing and not working and I will be happy to answer your query. Also, I appreciate the effort made towards the fixes you have tried. Let me ask you;

• What is the make and model of the computer?
• How did you try to install/update the driver?
• Do you remember making any specific change in the computer prior to the issue?

This can be due to missing/corrupted/outdated touch screen driver. Let's try the following methods and check the status.

Method 1: Run
Hardware and Device troubleshooter. Follow the steps.

• 
  Press Windows Key +R, type
  Control Panel.
  
• 
  Type troubleshooting
  in the search bar, click on troubleshooting.
  
• 
  Click on Hardware and Sound, click on
  Hardware and Devices.
  
• 
  Follow the steps from the wizard to run the troubleshooter.
  

Method 2: Sometimes it may work just by disabling and enabling the touch screen. Here's how:

• Open the "Start" Menu
• Searching for "Device Manager".
• Double click on "Human Interface Devices".
• Right click on "HID-compliant touch screen"
• Click on "Disable" and "Yes",
• Right click again for "Enable"

Method 3: Try and update the touch screen drivers and check if that helps.

• 
  Press Windows and X keys together.
  
• 
  Expand Human Interface Devices.
  
• 
  Locate the Touch screen driver.
  
• 
  Right-click on the driver icon and click on
  Uninstall.
  
• 
  Restart the computer so Windows can automatically search for the driver
  

Method 4: Visit the computer manufacturer's support website and install the latest touch screen driver available for the same computer model, compatible with Windows 10.

Hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reply in case you face any other issues with Windows in future.
