Windows 8.1 touch screen not working?

Is there a touch screen bug in the final version of Windows 8.1 or is there a particular setup I need to do to get touch to work reliably?

I just installed it on my Fujitsu T902 and sometimes the touch screen responds and sometimes it doesn't. The same also applies for the digitizer.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. I understand that you have an issue with re-installing touch screen driver. I will surely help you to fix this issue.

What is the make and model of the laptop?

You may try to download and install latest touch screen driver from the computer manufacturer website and check if it helps.

    Why would Microsoft give us a fix when they are making a fortune trying to sell their services to do it for you.  You can buy their help if you have $200 and change to throw away.  That is the advise I got.  "Yes it can be fixed and pay us for our software maintenance pkg".

    They seem to be acting just like scammers.  I would never say they are but they certainly smell like it.

    My touchscreen and camera stopped working for several days and then started working again.  I have no idea what happened.  I'm wondering if there is something on the keyboard I may have touched?

    I experienced the same issue with Asus X200CA. No driver updates available from Asus or help found with this issue. I was able to swap out a cloned hard drive that was created as a backup prior to 8.1 upgrade. Now back to 8.0. I will wait for 8.2.
