Does anyone still have the CalibG4.exe touch screen dead zone hotfix file for the Surface Pro 3 they could share with me? I've seen posts to the Sony support website where you used to be able to download it from, but it no longer seems active. So I've no idea how to obtain it.

EDIT: 

Found it. It says Windows 8, but I used it on my Windows 10 and worked like a charm.

If this link ever dies in the future, let me know (jestercat at out) because I'm going to save the file.

    Update: Last summer I left my tablet out on the table on the deck at my cottage on Prince Edward Island. The province is known for the heavy dew each night. The next morning when I finally remembered it was out there it was really damp and the top left 1/4 of the screen would no longer work as touch screen and the mouse would jump all over the screen opening apps & it took forever to boot past the Surface screen & a lot of the time it would just hang there. The only way I could use it was to open Device Manager & disable  Firmware>Surface Pro Touch Controller Firmware, Human Interface Devices>HID-compliant touch screen. It still takes 60+ seconds to have it pass the Surface boot screen on startup.

    Today I downloaded the Sony touch panel calibration tool & ran it. Now the SP boots perfectly again & my touch screen is working 100%.
