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

Anonymous

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

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

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"

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".

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.

Hi Adrian_Mr,

Thanks for your feedback. It's true that Tablet mode is not available on desktop computers on Windows 11. Your demands and ideas are very worthy of our attention and adoption. I will report your concern to our Windows team who will consider improving Windows in the future.

Also, if you have other good ideas for subsequent use, you may hold down Windows key + F to launch the Feedback Hub and share them.

Hi Lynn Sun

I am sorry, but this is not possible because my current monitor as main is 4K. My secondary monitor is just HD.

For some application I use secondary monitor as control board like in msfs 2020 and I cannot switch full-screen-application on secondary monitor.

So pleas report this as missing function from Windows 10 as Bug/Needs.

Best Regards,
Adrian

Hi Adrian_Mr,

Thanks for bringing up your concern in Microsoft Community.

I understand that you'd like to enable the touch input on your second touch-screen monitor on Windows 11. As a workaround, it is kindly advised to set your second monitor as the primary monitor to achieve the effect.

Click Start > Settings > Display > Multiple displays > Drag the icon 2 and drag it in front of icon 1, or click icon 2 and then check Make this my main display.

Feel free to reach back if you need further assistance.
