  1. Lost control of mouse and touch screen on laptop


    Hi all,


    So, I am using a Dell touchscreen Latitude E5450 for work.. I swap between this and desktop so my laptop sometimes sits down for a while.


    Today, my screen started switching between windows and it appeared as if somehow there was a miscommunication/conflict between the cursor and the touch screen. The screen was going crazy flickering between windows and I couldn't control the mouse from the trackpad to even shutdown the laptop. I used the power button and restarted. It was fine . Then logging in I had a similar issue.


    Anyone experience this?


    Thanks.

    :)
