I had this issue with my VivoBook S400CA touch screen and fixed it today doing the following:

  1. Go to the Control Panel.
  2. Go to Troubleshooting (you may have to search for it)
  3. Click Hardware and Sound
  4. In the Device section, click Hardware and Devices
  5. Have the wizard scan your computer for hardware issues.
  6. Let the computer fix whatever issues you had.

In my case there were 2 USB input devices that were disabled that the wizard enabled for me.  The touchscreen immediately started working.  Hope this helps someone.

UPDATE:

The problem used to come back periodically.  But since updating all of my drivers a while back, the problem has not resurfaced.

    It Worked!

    Thank you! Since the upgrade to WIN 8.1 my touch screen just stoped working, and I"ve been looking for a solution for so long... Some how that simple one worked perfectly.

    Saved me a lot of trouble. Thanks!

    it is not a problem as such...it is a power saver feature....so if you go in device manager under human interface devices, right click on the usb input device, then click on properties, under the power management tab, untick the option that allows the computer to turn off the driver to save power...check both of the usb input devices for this...
