Windows 10: [Surface Laptop Studio Win10] Touchscreen disabled, but keeps re-enabling itself after...

I use my Surface Laptop Studio for drawing and make heavy use of the stylus, so I have the touchscreen disabled in Device Manager as I never use touch controls. In the past couple of weeks, I have found that when I put my SLS to sleep and then wake it back up, sometimes the touchscreen has been re-enabled. When I went to try and disable it again, I could not find the device anywhere in Device Manager to disable or re-enable it. This has never happened before, but now that it's happening it keeps happening. The touchscreen actually causes some of my software to freeze, and it's very frustrating

Enable Touchscreen on Windows 10

I do not use the Touchscreen for personal reasons, so when I purchased my HP laptop I disabled it when I customized the settings. That was a few years ago.

I now need the Touchscreen to create an electronic signature, but cannot find it in the Device Manager, which is where all suggestions are pointing me.

When I open up Human Interface Devices, there are only 4 items listed, and none of them state Touchscreen. Here is what's listed: HID-compliant consumer control device; HID-compliant wireless radio controls; HP Wireless Button Driver; and USB Input Device.

Is it possible that the Touchscreen enable/disable selection is somewhere else?
