Windows 10: Windows 10 touch issue, fully updated as of post

Hello, i have a what seems to be an unusual problem. I'm running stock/default everything normal win10 on a touch tablet. its a 2-1 with no additional "config utilities" etc.


When i touch any of the standard UI (example, touching the background in desktop mode, or closing a windows form that doesn't natively support touch)

My screen instantly locks. I'd love to utilize the touch screen on this tablet properly. How can i address this behavior?


I'm not intimidated to change any reg settings or utilize any options necessary. The use case for this tablet is a glorified web browser/occasional movie, and the odd remote to do some dev work when i'm too lazy to get up.

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP

Windows 10 fully updated. Mouse freezes now and then.

ITS BACK! ITS BEEN HERE SINCE MORNING AND NO MATTER WHAT I DO IT WONT GO AWAY *Frown

Thats it, im going back to 8.1 :/ enough is enough. it wont let me uninstall the windows updates so that i can fix the issue manually.

so you are yourself saying that a fully updated windows 10 installation is corrupt for no reason *Big Grin see, it is crap. i got windows 10 on my work PC as well, and it has tons of compatibility issues. Hell, even Microsofts Office 360 / 2016 doesnt work properly.

 

Touch screen disabled in Windows 10

Hi David,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to follow the steps below and check, if it helps:

Method 1: Try to run a inbuilt
Hardware troubleshooter
and check.

Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your touch Screen. Refer these steps:

• 
  Press Windows key +X, select
  Control panel.
  
• 
  Change the view by option on the top right to
  Large icons.
  
• 
  Click on troubleshooting
  and click on the view all option on the left panel.
  
• 
  Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.
  
• 
  Follow the on-screen instructions and check.
  

Method 2.Try updating the Touch screen drivers from the manufacturer's website and check if the issue persists.

Follow the steps to update the touch Screendrivers:

• Press Windows key + X key and click
  Device Manager.
  
• Expand the Sound, Video and game controllers.
  
• Right-click on the Sound card and click on
  Update driver software.
