Windows Driver Kit  

I have been having trouble with the drivers for my HP 23-q113w Touch since February. I just installed the WDK and used it to delete ghost devices. Thanks to your forum. I would like to know if there could possibly be anything in the WDK that might help me with my touch screen drivers issue? I have been to the HP site and downloaded all the updates for my PC.

I have Windows Home 64 bit

OS build is 19042.867

I have done a system reset, then a system restores but still have the same issues with the touch screen drivers. They say they are not connected to the computer. Code 45.

Thank you all

Just as a side question. Is there a universal Drivers site that you know of, that is safe and free of malware, viruses etc on the downloads.

See: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Home.aspx

Hello once again. I have been all over the place trying to resolve this issue. I went to HP and downloaded the drivers, chipsets, graphics, etc that they suggested. It didn't help. I tried Windows help, everyone says the same thing. I have found quite a few people with the same issue as I have with the touchscreen. None were resolved. I thought it was hardware but sometimes the touch comes on, then when I have to restart it disappears. Sometimes my system says it's touch-capable, then, like now, it says it isn't on the system.

Now there isn't even an HID device saying compliant touch screen. I have had done so many updates, system restore and installing and uninstalling that my PC is now undependable. I had never had one issue with it before Feb 28thm when it suddenly ceased working. My young granddaughter was playing an online game called Roblox when it stopped working. I thought that might have something to do with it. Any opinions?

Does anyone know if there is any generic or universal touchscreen driver/software that I can install that would take the place of the drivers that seem to come and go?

I am willing to try anything because it is so frustrating. I had planned on this being my PC for quite a while. I am 70 and I won't be able to buy another PC in the foreseeable future.

Thank you

There wasn't any specific update that I took notice of. I wanted to roll back to before Feb 28th, but I kept getting a message saying I could only go back to March 1, so that didn't help me.

I went to the HP site about the touch screen problems. It didn't help me any.
