Windows 10: HID Touch Screen Driver Missing

Hey,


I have a touch screen laptop that has recently lost its driver for the HID touch screen- and therefore my touch screen does not work. I have tried to update and restart. Scan for recent driver changes and restart. I'm now at a loss, any ideas? Why would it suddenly disappear?


Thanks,


E

Touch screen HID missing Toshiba P50-t laptop

Thanks for your response. I have done as you suggested. Whilst step one didn't locate the missing driver, it did highlight that the new HP printer drivers aren't now recognised by this new W10 install - as i said installed by MS with me online. Another
concern i would have thought! It too was ok beforehand,

Step two - i have tried everywhere... i cannot locate the driver.

It was there, i'd seen it previously in device manager - my unit has always been a touch screen. I have even called Toshiba Australia but they don't have it either and suggest that the one provided as part of the W8 pre-load was the MS HID one.

Again the model is a Toshiba P50t-A, model # PSPMHA-01600L.

Sorry but can you provide further assistance?

you can see here ... HID-touchscreen is not listed there (but used to be).

 

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This can be due to missing/corrupted/outdated touch screen driver.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.
