Windows 10: How can I disable finger touch input while leaving pen input enabled on a touchscreen.

I just bought dell inspiron 2 in 1 laptop. Whenever I write or sketch using a pen, my hand touch on screen doesn't let me sketch properly and it is hard to write/sketch without putting wrist on screen.

so I want to disable all kind of body touch while writing.


How can I disable body touch input while leaving pen input enabled on laptop touchscreen?

Lenovo x201 touch input and pen input conflict

Hi Maliq,

Disabling and re-enabling the touch and pen input driver might resolve this issue for you. Here are the steps:

1. Select the search box in the taskbar, enter device manager, and then select
   Device Manager in the search results.
2. Select the arrow to the left of Human Interface Devices.
3. Right-click HID-compliant touch screen, and then select
   Disable.
4. Right-click HID-compliant touch screen, and then select
   Enable.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Disabling Hover click when mouse input/touch input is disabled

So I have a Lenovo T460 Yoga that trying to use for Art, The issue I'm having is when I disable touch screen input which for me is just more convenient since my art software can't deny touch inputs outright (unless someone can suggest something that does).

However when I do this and disable touch input via device manager, it also enables hover click which makes it so when pen is a short distance above the screen it clicks. Which is infuriating, I'm using the laptop with Software KVM for the mouse, and would
have mouse usage with the pen anyway so the hoverclick is pointlessly redundant.

I am using a Wacom pen, there is no hover select options for it however.

It isn't related to the ease of access centre, and it doesn't do it when touch input is on.

 

Touchscreen/pen input issues since 1803

I'm currently evaluating problems on touchscreen boards with active pen(ERM) support(Prowise). These touchscreens use optic imaging to handle touch input on large screens. These use standard components and are ready to go after plugging in operating in HID
Mode. These are mostly used for education purposes.

Ever since 1803 using the pen results in ghost touch input. This causes a lot of problems in multiple applications. Sometimes the additional input is ignored, but it sees the pressure sensitive pen as normal input. In other cases both streams are handled
as one stream wich results in timing and overhead issues or the touch input is handled as panning events. Also the numerous touch-up and touch-down events interfere with functioning of the pen.

Also when using pure touch input and no active pen input seems slower with lag and less input events.

This behavior has also been retroactively introduced to 1703 with updates, suspect here is KB4089848. The HID driver version is 10.0.17134.1. I know there is a workaround in Windows to completely ignore touch input when an
active pen is used. But this limits the usage. Are there changes in the HID Mode a manufacturer would have to adapt to?

Kind regards
