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.

    simple, throw away the screen and buy a new one....ha ha, the only way what could be done is to go back to the fujitsu website to look for the driver for your model of touch screen and reinstall the driver.

    As far as i can tell, i now have my Fujitsu t902 a year in privat and business use, say at least 4-6h a day.

    first there were some issues with some fuji drivers but after some weaks all worked nice. well, until 8.1 comes around, had to download it 3 times to get it installed.... Then i had the same touch and digitizer problems like the others, sometimes it worked the hole day, sometimes maybe 5min. The moment i disabled the powersaving-option, mentioned by igalan, touch and digitizer came back. we will see how long it will hold.

    Hi

    I also have a Sony VAIO Multi-Flip 15A - I upgrade Windows 8 to 8.1 64bit - The Touchscreen doesn't always work, it will work for like 20 minutes, and then I have to power the machine and power it back on to make it work again, I have to do this every 20 to 30 minutes of touchscreen tablet mode time, a bit annoying. I updated the Sony Bios to the latest firmware and all of its drivers, the issue is still the same. If you think the power management is the problem and I have to turn it off, then Microsoft diffenately needs to correct this issue. This is not normal. A Touchscreen should always function, even if you spend 8 straight hours.

    BTW, this applies to any laptops running windows 8.1 - Ive talk to many people at my work from the IT department and they all said the same thing, about the touchscreen issue and also all the issue reported by people when you Bing or Google it.
