[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

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.

    Have you tried plugging the touch element into a different USB port and reconfiguring? That should force the OS to see it as a different device. If something with the current device id is screwed up, that should resolve it.

    Did you hit the "Okay" button on tablet PC settings after doing touch settings? For me this works, although it does sometimes revert, especially after multiple hibernations. I wish Microsoft would save the settings for this so I didn't have to keep a Tablet PC settings icon on my desktop to fix the touchscreen occasionally.

    The solution worked for me once, but it no longer works. I go through the setup calibration, press Enter to move the text onto the correct screen, and tap the screen (which closes the tool), but touches are still registering on my main monitor.

    I have tried just about everything, but other than setting the touchscreen as my primary (which I *don't* want to do) nothing works.
