  1. How can I get touch to work on monitor that is not my main display?


    After some research, my understanding is that touch input can only control the main display. The problem is that my new touchscreen monitor is not my main display. My main display is not a touchscreen monitor. Since Windows did away with Tablet PC settings, it seems that I can't use a second monitor as a touchscreen unless I make it my main monitor. My main monitor is 49" with 5120 x 1440 resolution. My touchscreen is a 7" monitor. You can see why I don't want to make that my main monitor. Please tell me there's a way to make touch work on my secondary 7" touchscreen monitor! Thank you so much

    :)

    How can I get touch to work on monitor that is not my main display?

    How to set touch screen monitor without having to physically touch the screen.

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    Upon researching, I see that this could be done by altering the primary monitors and configuring the touch setup. I would suggest you to have a look in the Control Panel and see if you find an option.



    • Open Control Panel and navigate to
      Display > Resolution.

    • Set the touch monitor as the primary one and open
      Tablet PC settings.

    • Choose Setup and configure your pen and touch displays.
    • Choose Enter to skip touch to indicate which screen is your touch screen.
    • Open Screen Resolution settings again and change the primary display.


    Regards,
