Windows 10: Touch Screen Stopped Working

I upgraded my notebookHP Spectre x360-13-ae000xx from windows 10 to Windows 11 and after that TOUCH SCREEN stopped working. It even stopped showing from bios.I did check in COMPONENT TEST using HP HARDWARE AND DIAGONSTICS UEFI, but there is no option for touch screen Test.I did installed all HID compliant drivers from MICROSOFT UPDATE CATALOGUE...I did tried all driver installing, but i think it needs fixation from BIOS level... This all happened while having firmware update pushed by windows 11Please Help!

My touch screen stopped working

Hello, I'm Louie, and I'm happy to help you today. Hope you're doing well and safe there. I'm sorry that you're having trouble with your touchscreen.

I would suggest you to try the solutions provided on the support article below.

You may also Enable and reinstall the touch screen driver in Device Manager

Your touch screen might not respond because it is not enabled or needs to be reinstalled. Use Device Manager to enable and reinstall the touch screen driver.

In Windows, search for and open Device Manager.

Expand the Human Interface Devices list.

Right-click the HID-compliant touch screen device, and then click Enable, if possible. If the Enable option is not available, continue to the next step.

Tap the screen to see if it responds. If it does not, continue with these steps.

Right-click the HID-compliant touch screen device, and then click Uninstall.

Restart the computer to reinstall the touch screen driver.

Tap the screen to see if it responds. If it does not, configure the touch display.

Another thing you can try is to Configure the touch display to identify your screen as a touch screen.

In Windows, search for and open Calibrate the screen for pen and touch input.

On the Display tab, click Setup.

Click Touch input.

Follow the on-screen directions to identify your screen as a touch screen.

Tap the screen to see if it responds. If it does not, continue to the next step.

If the steps above didn't work, proceed with Adjusting the power management settings for your touch screen

NOTE: Changing this setting might result in increasing power consumption during sleep mode.

In Windows, search for and open Device Manager.

Expand the Human Interface Devices list.

Right-click the HID-compliant touch screen device, and then click Properties.

On the Power Managment tab, remove the selection from the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power check box, and then click OK.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Louie

Touch screen stops working, Windows 10

It's gone again!! I was using an app with the touchscreen, when I saw the on screen symbol in the task bar flicker, it then disappeared and the touch screen stopped working.

Step one now tells me that it is applying a fix, then comes up with the message - Unknown usb device (device descriptor failed) is not working properly. Your pc must be restarted. - Restarted and went back and ran troubleshooter again, getting exactly the
same result and message.

Step 2 - The touch screen driver has now vanished from the list! (last week when the touchscreen wasn't working I tried to find the driver and couldn't - perhaps this is why!)

HELP!
