[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.

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.

    This is not a solution. I play games and they open on the primary monitor. I want my touch screen to be the secondary monitor. It is useless for me as primary. Touchscreens are not Graphic Monitors for high performance cards like nVidia RTX 3070 TI. I want my games on the monitor that is good for them and the touch screen to work on it's own screen

    My primary monitor is a HD GSYNC monitor for gaming. Games start on primary monitor and cannot be moved. I cannot play games on the lame touchscreen monitor because it isn't for high end graphics. This precludes my switching my touchscreen monitor to main display.

    I want to use my touchscreen as secondary monitor and it cannot be set up. There is NO work around. And it really sucks.

    Windows should let people know they do not support touch screens on desktop computers that have high end graphics. Windows does not support touch screen effectively.

    Yes this is not helpful at that time. But now its working again by using Control Panel. See reply from Christopher Nutting's post on March 8, 2022 😉
