Lately I’ve been having problems with my Asus T100TA. I notice the Asus T100TA tends to register “wrong touches” if anyone gets what I mean, I don’t know how to word this properly but at random it goes registering a touch at the middle top of the screen, when I try to remove it by putting my finger on it, the ‘wrong touch’ goes moving down (And I’m unable to use my trackpad to move the cursor), it disappears temporary after a forced reboot (Holding the power button for 10+ seconds). I can confirm there’s no dust or cracks causing it (I’ve even replaced the glass and screen itself, double-checked the connectors), I’m not having this problem on my other Asus T100TA however, the only difference is that this Notebook uses Windows 8.1 and the Properly functioning one uses Windows 10 Education.

Hi @lenafox , Just as a way out thought. Check in Device Manager under Mice and Other Pointing Devices and see if there is a listing for a USB touchscreen controller or something similar. If so try re-installing / updating the driver for it.

@jayeff I guess it was a driver failure after all, I don’t know whether this will occur again but I uninstalled and then reinstalled the driver for the touchscreen, now it works properly (Though I can’t confirm if it’s permanent or temporary fix as it’s only been 38 minutes since driver reinstall)
