Touchscreen not working on fresh Windows 8.1 install

I just bought a Pavilion 11-n040nb x360 and I'm planning to buy a few more for work, but I have a problem I wasn't able to fix so far.
On the OEM Operating System the touchscreen was working without a problem. I then installed an SSD-drive and created a new partition with a clean Windows 8.1 install. From the first startup the touchscreen isn't recognized by Windows.
The touchscreen itself is still working in BIOS/UEFI-setup and the diagnostic tool proves there's nothing wrong with the hardware itself.
I found a lot of posts from people with the same problem and tried really every tip, a lot of different drivers and software, but still can't get it to work.
More usefull info:
- HD Graphics 10.18.10.3366 driver installed and in use
- Synaptics 18.0.4.81 driver installed and in use
- Windows is up to date (no recommended or optional updates available)
- Windows system screen shows the message 'pen or touch input is not available for this display'
- No unknown devices in Windows device management (all drivers installed)
- Looks a bit weird to me: in device management, next to the Synaptics PS/2 Port Clickpad, there is another device called "HID-mouse" with hardware ID HID\VID_0461&PID_4DF1&REV_0300&Col01 but I can't find any other drivers for it than the default Windows-driver, I'm thinking this might be the touchscreen hardware?
Any help on how I can get the touchscreen working on this clean Win 8.1 Pro install?!

@Dennichio ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forum.  What may have happened with your install is that the chipset driver may not have been loaded first causing issues with the touchscreen driver.
Here is the link for your systems supported drivers.  
HP Pavilion 11-n040nb x360 PC (ENERGY STAR) Drivers.
Once you have downloaded all your software and drivers for your notebook you will want to boot into safe mode and uninstall your drivers.
Windows 8 Safe Mode
You may have to reboot between each uninstall.
once this is done then you will have to boot back into windows normally.
Now install your drivers again this time make sure you install the chipset drivers before anything ellse.
Please let me know how this goes for you.
Thank you again for posting and have a great day.
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

  • Re: hp stream x360 touchscreen not working after fresh install

    Hi I am having the same issue and the solutions you have suggested seem not to work. Is there no where the driver for the touch screen is available as this seems like the basic issue and quite a common issue for anyone who clean installs their stream PC? I am happy to purchse a restore disc, however this doesn't seem to be available either in the support section. Can you please help! Thanks Fuzzbubble

    Hi  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community! I have looked into your issue about your HP Stream x360  and  issues with the Touchscreen. Here is a link to troubleshoot the Touchscreen. In the link you will notice a configure the touch display. This is the section you will need. Do you see anything in the Device Manager that has a yellow question mark on it? I hope this helps. Thanks.

  • Satellite L755D-S257​9 AMD Drivers Not Working on Fresh Windows 7 Install

    Hi,
    The HDD died in my L755D-S2579 yesterday. I was able to install Windows 7 on a new HDD but cannot get the AMD drivers to work correctly. I've downloaded the latest drivers from the support page and it seems to go through the install but the Display menu continues to use the Generic Standard VGA Graphics Adapter instead of the AMD drivers. When I try to open AMD Vision Engine Control Center it says that there are no settings that can be changed at this time. I've tried uninstalling the generic drivers and uninstalling and reinstalling the AMD drivers but nothing is working. What can I do to get this to work? I can't continue using this laptop if it's running at 1024x768.

    Satellite L755D-S2579
    What is the part number of your computer? It looks something like PSK32U-03P00X.

  • Ideapad touchscreen not working on upgrade to Windows 10

    I  have an Ideapad Flex 15. Since I upgraded yesterday to Windows 10, I have lost the touchscreen ability I had up to that point on Windows 8.1. On search for pen and touch, I was given this message on a system information page: "No pen or touch input is available for this display." I have looked in device manager under Human Interface Devices. Expanding the view to show hidden devices, I see "HID compliant touch screen." When I click to get device status, this is the message: "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45) To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer." How do I do that? I note a similar problem in Windows 8.1 on this posting: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-hardware/touchscreen-not-working/c48cda23-93f2-4a9a-b6da-f7f47e67de0a Does anyone have any idea how to reconnect the hardware device -- or at least to solve this problem? Thanks!

    I solved the problem here for my sister's Flex 14.
    Press Windows+X and open Device Manager, go to Mouse and uninstall USB touchscreen.
    Solved the problem here...

    Mod's Edit: Added model to Subject line for clarity

    I took this in to a shop, and two technicians tried to solve the problem to no avail. One of them did as suggested, and uninstalled the touchscreen driver under Mice and other devices, but that only disabled the mouse touchpad.  So it was reinstalled, and the driver for the touchscreen under Human Interface devices was reinstalled, but none of it helped, and I still lack the touchscreen capacity I had before.  I cannot scroll except on the side ribbon, and I cannot use the touchscreen to zoom in and out, which I could do on Windows 8 and 8.1.  So it seems there is no new Lenovo driver for the  IdeapadFlex 15 that is compatible with Windows 10.  I am told to wait and see, and to hope that Lenovo addresses this problem.  BTW, I previously had two Microsoft tech people remote control my computer to fix this, and they both failed.   I am disappointed with Microsoft and Lenovo.  Any computer that was bought within the last couple of years fitted with Windows 8 should upgrade no problem to Win 10. 

  • Web Start doesn't work on Fresh Window XP!!

    I have a fresh Windows XP professional just installed with latest service pack 1a. I downloaded the latest JDK 1.4.2 and NetBeans3.5.1. After installation, I can not find any Web Start icon. There is a javaws folder (C:\j2sdk_nb\j2sdk1.4.2\jre\javaws) and when I click javaws.exe, I got a message saying: Bad installation, no JRE found in configuration file.
    Anyone knows why and what to do?
    Thanks.
    Ling

    yes - if you install the netbeans IDE, you get an SDK w/o a public JRE.
    in 1.4.2, webstart would not work w/o some public jre installed on a system.
    to resolve just install the jre.

  • B14-178sa touchscreen not working

    Hi there, I have been tearing my hair out these last few days trying to get the touch screen working on a TouchSmart b14-178sa.
    The old screen was burnt out (you could see the damage to the touch sensors), so I replaced the screen with an identical model.
    The old screen wasn't even showing in the device manager, the new one is showing, indicated by the red arrows in the following screenshot.
    I thought Windows 8.1 might be the issue so I downgraded back to Windows 8 and installed all the software/drivers from the product support page.
    I also installed all Windows updates, the touch did not work from start to finish.
    I have tried the steps outlined on a support page here.
    Pen and touch is not available in control panel.
    Despite the touchscreen showing in device manager, system properties says no touch available.
    I have tried the AUO firmware update, which tries for a few minutes then just exits and fails.
    Here is a screenshot from the update:
    Any suggestions you may have which might help would be greatly appreciated.

  • ExpressCard/34 not working in BootCamp Windows 7 64-bit. Apple's BIOS emulation does not give enough resources.

    MacBook Pro unibody, 15" 2009
    ExpressCard/34 (Card is by Transcend TS-RDF1, JMicron chip for SD card) is not working in BootCamp Windows 7 64-bit. Windows reports:
    "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
    If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system."
    Other data points: Card works fine in Mac OSX, worked under Windows XP 32-bit (initially reported same problem, but works after reboot).
    Checking the forums there seems to be no actual device suggested to actually remove that would help the problem. And even if it was, the concept is ridiculous. What other device would you like to remove? Display adapter? Network adapter? No way. I use all available devices and don't want to compromise.
    It seems like BIOS emulation does not allocate enough resources to ExpressCard.
    Are others having the same problem?
    Does anyone have a fix for this?
    Is there anyone at Apple who cares to provide a solution?

    It is not a driver problem, but a problem in the BIOS emulated by bootcamp on some (not all) MBP models. So unless Apple fixes it in bootcamp, there is no real solution. And obviously, Apple doesn't care. They are dropping the Expresscard slot anyway.
    Unfortunately, this poster seems right: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=912259 :
    The 2008/2009 Macbook Pros don't allow to use the ExpressCard slot because of EFI/Bootcamp errors (Windows Vista/7 cannot allocate an IRQ to the slot). You don't need any drivers for using an ExpressCard slot on Windows, you only need the drivers for the corresponding card you are using.
    Bootcamped XP allowed to use the slot, but you could not use hot-plugging.
    And from the Sonnet site ( http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_sata_express34.html ) :
    Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 not supported under Windows 7 or Windows Vista when running on unibody MacBook Pro computers. The problem is caused by the MacBook Pro's BIOS emulation, which doesn't allocate enough resources to support certain kinds of Expresscard/34 devices, such as a SATA controller, in these operating systems.

  • Cracked screen, touchscreen not working, need to backup. Help?

    Hola,
    I dropped my iPhone 3G and broke the screen ... AGAIN ... in a comical addition to what has been a bad week of epic proportions.
    Anyways, I have a passcode on the phone, but with the touchscreen not working, I can't enter it. Therefore I can't get iTunes to back up the phone. The screen is cracked but displays fine, but touch input is broken.
    Is there any way to enter the passcode to iTunes and have it unlock the phone? Anything I can do at all? No MobileMe, not jailbroken, etc.
    Thanks.

    Unless you can enter the passcode directly on the phone, I'm afraid you're out of luck.

  • HP Pavilion 14z-n200 Touchsmart CTO Notebook touchscreen not working after update

    More than a month ago I updated my HP Pavilion 14z-n200 Touchsmart CTO Notebook and after the required restart I noticed that the touchscreen had stopped responding. I have searched the forums and found that other members of the HP Pavilion Touchsmart family had the same issues, but their solutions have not solved the problem with my specific PC. Any help would be great! Thanks

    Hi @Cbird22 ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 14z-n200 TouchSmart CTO Notebook  and the Touchscreen not working correctly. If you follow this document it will show you how to correct this issue.
    You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
    When performing a System restore please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices as they can cause issues.

  • HP P1006 laserjet not working with a windows 7 Dell e5510 laptop

    Hello
    Any help is appreciated.  When I plug into the usb I get an error message so therefore I can not continue with the installation of the drivers.  aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!  This is frustrating.
    thanks for any advice and suggestions

    Hi Donaldparis,
    After researching from the HP website, I realize that they do not release the HP LaserJet 3050 All-in-One Printer driver for Windows 7. It means that you will install the Windows 7 built-in basic driver and use the basic features. For more information about how to install the basic driver, you may refer to the following link:
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=120&prodSeriesId=3463669&prodTypeId=18972&objectID=c01856597#category4
    Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.
    If it does not work, you may also try to install the printer driver for Windows Vista under compatibility mode.
    Install driver under compatibility mode & Administrator level
    ==================================
    1.Right click on the exe file for driver and click Properties.
    2.Click on the Compatibility tab.
    3.Select “Run this program in compatibility mode for.”
    4.Choose Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) from the drop down list.
    5.Select “Run this program as an administrator” option under the Privilege Level topic.
    6.Click Apply, click OK.
    7. Please double click on the exe file again.
    Good luck!
