How Do I Turn on the Touchscreen on My Surface Book?

Published in Tech & Gadgets 1 min read

The touchscreen on your Surface Book should be automatically enabled. If it's not working, it might be disabled in Windows settings or there could be a hardware issue.

Here are some things you can try:

  • Check the Windows settings:
    • Go to Settings > Devices > Pen & Windows Ink.
    • Make sure the "Enable touch input" option is turned on.
  • Check the Surface Book's display settings:
    • Right-click on your desktop and select Display settings.
    • Ensure that the "Rotate" setting is set to "0 degrees".
  • Restart your Surface Book:
    • Sometimes a simple restart can resolve software glitches.
  • Update your Surface Book drivers:
    • Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
    • Check for and install any available updates.
  • Check for physical damage:
    • Inspect the touchscreen for any cracks or scratches.
    • Make sure nothing is obstructing the touchscreen.

If none of these steps work, you might have a hardware issue. Contact Microsoft support for further assistance.
