Windows8.1 Touch and Pen settings

How do I check if the computer has a touch screen?

Try using your finger to click on the "Start" tile. If it is a touch screen, the application will open. You can also use the mouse to check the current system settings:

Swipe from the right edge of the screen to the middle, click "Settings" and click "Change Computer Settings".

(If you are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change Computer Settings.) )

Click or click Computers and devices, and then click or click Computer Information.

Under Computer, look at the pen and touch settings, which indicate what type of input your screen supports.

If a touch screen is available, the touch input is turned on by default and the feature cannot be turned off. If you want your laptop or monitor to respond to a touch operation, but the result is not responding, visit the manufacturer's Web site to make sure that your laptop or monitor supports touch and that the correct driver is installed.

How do I calibrate my pen and touch settings?

To adjust the sensitivity of the screen when using a pen or finger:

Swipe from the right edge of the screen to the middle and click "Search".

(If you use the mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, and then move the mouse pointer down, and then click Search.) )

Type "calibrate" in the search box, and then click or click the "Calibrate pen and touch input screen" to turn on tablet settings.

Check to see if the monitor displayed in the Display field matches the screen you want to calibrate.

Click or click Calibrate, and then follow the instructions on the screen.

What if I calibrated the pen and touch settings, but now I can't turn on the Super button?

If you have calibrated the touch and pen settings, but do not show the Super button when you swipe from the right side of the screen, this may be because the screen boundary is reset during the calibration process, so Windows does not accurately detect the edge of the screen. Please try the following steps to calibrate your pen and touch settings again.

Use the keyboard shortcut Windows logo key +c to open the Super button, and then click or click Search.

Type "calibrate" in the search box, and then click or click the "Calibrate pen and touch input screen" to turn on tablet settings.

Check to see if the monitor displayed in the Display field matches the screen you want to calibrate.

Clicking or clicking on the "Reset" system may require you to provide an administrator password or confirm your choice.

If the reset pen and touch settings do not work, then try calibrating again by clicking or clicking "Calibrate" and then following the instructions on the screen. To ensure that Windows can accurately detect the edge of the screen, slightly closer to the center of the screen while touching the calibration point.

How do I go to the correct screen for my touch input?

If you have two monitors and one of them is a touch screen, the touch input signal may be confusing. For example, touching a monitor will cause the cursor to move on another monitor. To fix the problem:

Swipe from the right edge of the screen to the middle and click "Search".

(If you use the mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, and then move the mouse pointer down, and then click Search.) )

Type "calibrate" in the search box, and then click or click the "Calibrate pen and touch input screen" to turn on tablet settings.

Tap or click Settings, and then follow the instructions on the screen.

How do I change my pen and touch operation?

(If you use the mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, and then move the mouse pointer down, and then click Search.) )

Enter pen and touch in the search box, and then click or click Pen and touch.
