[SOLVED] Working touch-screen as secondary monitors on Windows 11

I have recently a second touch-screen monitor to use with my PC. It works perfectly except for the fact that touch does not work if it is set up as the second display. For Windows 10 I have to use "Table PC Settings" to assign touch input to secondary monitor. On Windows 11 I cannot find any tools like this. So the touch input is always triggering primary monitor.

Hello Mr Adrian,

In the control panel, change the icons to large icons

Image

Then you will be able to see the "Tablet PC" icon, click it.

Image

From there you seem to be familiar with how to do set it up, but will go over the next couple steps just in case you dont.

Click "Setup"

Next, there will be a dialog box to asking if you want the app to make changes, click "yes"

Image

Finally, all your screens should turn white with a this text in the middle of the primary screen "Tap this screen with a single finger to identify it as the touch screen. If this is not the table PC screen, Press Enter to move to the next screen".

Image

Press Enter until you get to the monitor you want to use as a touch screen. NOTE: I am not sure if you can use more than one touch screen with Windows 11... yet.

    Stage, I have 3 monitors + laptop screen

    two monitors are Samsung non touch 27 inch monitors.

    One Monitor is on the bottom, it is a touch screen monitor. then the laptop monitor is a non touch.

    My issue is that the text on screen asking me to touch the display is on a non touch monitor, when I go to touch the touchscreen display it acts like it is on another monitor.. IE when i use my touch screen it is actually moving the mouse on a different display.

    To make things odd. When I hook up a different laptop this issue does not exist it works properly.

    I need help

    Windows 11 build 22621.819 retains the secondary touchscreen setting thru reboots and sleeps. It used to not work. But now it does. Just go thru the calibration again on the tablet PC Settings. All fixed.

    When you use the control panel and tablet pc settings it matches the touch sensor to the monitor. The system doesn't really care which monitor is your primary. You should be able to switch that and rearrange the monitors without affecting your touch capability.
