Default Asus Laptop: Keeps Losing Touch Screen?

Zenbook.

Last week or so, the "Touch" feature of the screen has stopped working
maybe 5 times already.

The workaround is Control Panel | Troubleshooting | Hardware and Sound |
Hardware and Devices. It presents two instances of "Enable USB Input
Device" - and the problem goes away once "Apply This Fix" is clicked for
each.

Can anybody imagine what might be going on here?

I do use a USB port occasionally, but the problem recurs even after
rebooting post-use of USB.

I have 4 usb ports and one is my dongle for a wireless mouse. I found
after days, that with Hyper-V virtual software loaded, I could lose one
of the ports randomly. And 1 out of 4 times it was my mouse.

You don't have Hyper-V installed do you? I'm on win8.1 pro.

Hi Pete. Well the computer sees the touch screen as an USB device. So
that part makes sense. And did this problem appear after a Windows
Update perhaps? I would try newer or even older touch screen drivers. Do
you know who manufactured the touch screen? Either Wacom or
N-trig perhaps?

No - and nothing else that's non-plain-vanilla that I know of.

Now it is starting to make sense.

Thanks... I will dig into the maker/driver.

Been avoiding Windows Updates pending making an image of the system once
it's working a-ok.
