#TOUCH SCREEN NOT WORKING SURFACE WINDOWS 10#

That Sony page says itвЂ™s only for Sony hardware and only for Windows 8.1, but it worked fine for the Windows 10 Surface 3, and apparently works fine for the Surface Pro line too. And it worked, problem solved! In fact, the entire touch screen is much more responsive now.

exe that ran for about 10 seconds and, behind the scenes, it re-calibrated the touch screen in some deep-seated under-the-cover permanent way. Two-years earlier, Sony had developed a utility for their own Windows tablet to clear up the exact same problem, and put it out for download. So I started to pack up my Surface 3 to send it back, but came across a note later in that forum where someone had found a solution on a Sony web site. When pressed they finally replied it was probably a hardware problem and to return it. A Microsoft support person chimed in with the usual multiple sentences about how sorry they were, and how they felt our pain, but unfortunately also with the usual lack of solutions. I did a quick Internet search and a 2-month-old discussion came up on a Surface-dedicated forum about the very same problems on some units in the Surface Pro line.

Even after all the OS updates, after rebooting many times, and after re-calibrating the screen, that part of the screen remained permanently unresponsive-it wouldnвЂ™t register taps, wouldnвЂ™t finger-drag, etc. The specific problem on this Surface 3 was that there was a 2-inch by 3-inch band of screen near the left side of the display that was unresponsive to finger-touch (but it did react to pen contact). The other two were Surface Books that I wrote about here. Microsoft, what is up with your quality control? This is the third Surface in a row IвЂ™ve received that was virtually unusable on arrival (even after all OS updates). But I wanted to replace it-I missed it-so I ordered another and it arrived 2 days ago.Д«ut I am amazed and frustrated to say that the new one arrived defective! So this is getting ridiculous. Like my laptop, luckily it was locked and insured, so all is well on that front. Unfortunately, that nice little Surface 3 was one of the victims of the theft last month. IвЂ™d been using a Surface 3 (not the Pro, rather, the little Surface tablet) for several months and I really liked it-much better than an iPad for most of what I do with a small tablet. Another Surface problem has just вЂњsurfacedвЂќ for me.
