Microsoft has become one of the most popular brands when it comes to touch screen devices such as tablets and laptops. However, like any other electronic device, Microsoft touch screens can sometimes experience problems that can be frustrating for users. In this article, we will discuss some of the most common touch screen problems on Microsoft devices and provide some solutions to fix them.

Common Microsoft Surface
Touch Screen Problems

  • Touch Screen Auto Touch (Ghost Touch)
  • Touch Screen Not working 
  • Surface Pen Not Working (Pen is working on other Surface Device)

Touch Screen Not Responding

One of the most common touch screen problems is when the screen does not respond to touch. This can be due to a hardware or software issue. To fix this problem, you can try the following:

  • Restart your device: Restarting your device can sometimes fix the problem.

  • Clean the screen: Dirt, oil, and other debris can interfere with touch screen responsiveness. Clean the screen with a soft cloth and try using it again.

  • Remove the screen protector: If you have a screen protector on your device, it may be interfering with touch screen responsiveness. Remove the screen protector and try using it again.

Touch Screen Response Delay

Another common problem is when the touch screen response is delayed. This can be due to a slow processor, insufficient RAM, or a software issue. To fix this problem, you can try the following:

  • Close all background apps: Closing background apps can free up memory and improve touch screen response.

  • Update your device: Updating your device’s software can fix bugs and improve performance.

  • Factory reset: A factory reset can fix any software issues and improve touch screen response.

Ghost Touches

Ghost touches occur when the touch screen registers touches without any user interaction. This can be due to a software issue, a damaged screen, or interference from other electronic devices. To fix this problem, you can try the following:

  • Remove the case: Cases can sometimes interfere with touch screen responsiveness. Remove the case and try using the touch screen again.

  • Update your device: Updating your device’s software can fix bugs and improve touch screen response.

  • Reset your device: Resetting your device to its factory settings can fix software issues that may be causing ghost touches.

Touch Screen Calibration

Touch screen calibration is important for accurate touch screen performance. Sometimes the touch screen may become misaligned, causing inaccurate touch responses. To calibrate your touch screen, follow these steps:

  • Go to the Control Panel and select Hardware and Sound.

  • Under the Pen and Touch option, select Calibrate the Screen for Pen or Touch Input.

  • Follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate your touch screen.

In conclusion, touch screen problems on Microsoft devices can be frustrating, but they can be fixed with the right solutions. If the above solutions do not work, you may need to take your device to a professional technician for repairs. By following these tips, you can keep your touch screen device running smoothly and enjoy its full functionality.
