I can only wake the laptop with a stylus. Tapping the screen with my finger does not work. I have already set the computer to never go to sleep when plugged in. Could you tell me how to enable finger touch wake-up?

    Hello Jenny Zhang,

    Your HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 series supports Wake-on-Touch.

    Open Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Touch, then enable Touch the screen to wake.

    If that option is missing, install the latest BIOS and touchscreen drivers from HP’s support page for your exact product number, then restart the laptop.

    Finger touch wake-up cannot be enabled unless the device hardware and firmware explicitly support Wake-on-Touch.

    Supported behavior in Windows 11 is:

    • Wake-on-Touch is optional and only available on devices that opt in.
    • If supported, Windows shows a "Touch the screen to wake" toggle in Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Touch.
    • If that setting does not appear, the device does not support the feature in its current OEM configuration.
    • Using a pen to wake the screen is not supported by the Wake-on-Touch feature.

    For a supported device, finger wake works by touching the screen with a finger while the device is in sleep/standby. Validation guidance expects a single-finger tap to wake the device, and the wake reason can appear as Input Touch in a SleepStudy report.

    Since the current behavior is stylus wake only and finger tap does not wake the screen, the practical check is:

    1. Open Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Touch.
    2. Look for Touch the screen to wake.
    3. If the option exists, turn it on.
    4. If the option does not exist, finger touch wake is not available to enable through Windows settings.
