There is a known issue with Windows 8 OEM not being compatible with touch screen devices.

From a Microsoft forum:Īlso worth trying is updating the system BIOS of computer. It has also been reported that on Windows 10 and Windows 8 that going to the Windows Device Manager and going through the HID devices and disabling them and re-enabling them can fix touch screen issues. Repeat step 4, but instead choose "Update driver software" from the right-click menu.Check the information for the touch screen and make sure it is "enabled". Select the "Monitors" section and right click on your monitor. Go to "Control Panel" and then "Device Manager".In this area click the setup button and follow the instructions. Click the start button and in the search box type "Calibrate the screen for pen or touch input".Sometimes a dirty screen will disable the touchscreen. Clean the display with a soft, clean cloth.Restart the computer, given the stability of computers these days, people don't reboot much.The touch screen is broken, this happens more than people think.ĭon’t ever install any driver diagnostic tools from the big websites that offer these tools, they are ransomware.The touch screen has been mis-configured, or calibrated (Try system restore to a time when it worked) or go to the device manger to see if there are any HID devices that have an explanation mark or a question mark, uninstall them then re-scan for hardware changes this may fix the issue.And what drivers DO exist they will be listed below, but use at you own risk. If your touch screen isn’t working there are few scenarios. Drivers are almost always built into Windows. Firstly none of them have the drivers that are required. This page serves as a warning about other driver sites that offer so called tools to download touchscreen drivers for Windows 10 or 8.
