Windows 8.1 touch screen not working?

Anonymous

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.

The solution I posted above works fine on my Vaio Multi-Fit 15, yesterday I updated to Windows 8.1 again and verified that both the touch screen and the pen stop working randomly. Once I disabled the power management on those they work reliably once again. No idea if this has any battery impact though, my guess it that it's probably negligible since those devices shouldn't be too power hungry. Anyway I keep a full disk image with Windows 8 in case some other problem appears and I need to roll back.

I just added a iiyama T2452MTS and I too have no functioning touchscreen. I downloaded iiyama's drivers folder and noticed no drivers for 8.1. So awaiting a response from iiyama on a driver that will enable touchscreen on 8.1.

Hi Chris,

Could you please tell me what the command does? Does it disable some power management features?

I have sorted the problem with my iiyama T2452MTS with help from Harry at iiyama. He mailed me:

"This model is plug-and-play for windows 7 operating system.
So you don't need a driver to get this monitor working on your PC.

Did you connect the USB cable?
This cable needs to be connected as this is for the touch-interface."

No problem now. iiyama Quick Start Guide could and should be written better. 

However, maybe this problem of unresponsive touch that others face with their screens 

is  solved by the plug-and-play connect through a USB.
