Windows 10: I seem to have lost my touch

Discus and support I seem to have lost my touch in Windows 10 Drivers and Hardware to solve the problem; I cannot get touch and inking to work on my 2-in-1 Tablet PC's touch screen. I have used it before, but now I cannot remember if I have missed out... Discussion in 'Windows 10 Drivers and Hardware' started by clayto, Mar 6, 2019.

    I seem to have lost my touch


    I cannot get touch and inking to work on my 2-in-1 Tablet PC's touch screen. I have used it before, but now I cannot remember if I have missed out something to activate it again. I can draw and scribble with the mouse but not with my (basic) stylus or fingers, either in the ink workspace or in a number of inking / drawing apps downloaded for the purpose.
    Also I cannot close windows, select text for copying and so on. The response I get is either nothing or beeping in response to tapping with my stylus (and a mysterious popup asking if I want turn on sticky keys).

    I have tried in Tablet mode (from which I learned why Windows 8 was so unpopular) and in desktop PC mode which I use all the time, and I have examined Settings to see if I have something wrong there.

    I am hoping this is something simple which I have not done.

    :)

    Hi Edwin....

    Yes, it works on 8.1, at least on my surface pro 3.

    Couldn't do a screenshot cause can't get to Snipping tool while keyboard is up, so I did a "step recording". See attached. Pardon the background, it's my Granddaughter! Cheers! *Cool

    Hi,

    We sure can provide some troubleshooting steps before you decide to get help from your laptop's manufacturer. Please follow the suggested solutions below:

    Method 1: Check if the touch screen driver is enabled.

    • In the Search bar, type Device Manager.
    • Locate Human Interface Devices and look for touch screen.
    • Right-click touch screen and check if it is enabled. If not, please enable it.
    Method 2: Reinstall the touch screen driver.

    • In Device Manager, go to Human Interface Devices.
    • Locate touch screen again and right-click it to Uninstall
      the driver.
    • Restart your PC to automatically install the driver.
    Feel free to post back for updates.
