Omen touch screen not working

[Darcy72]

Any advice? Apparently this has been a problem since 2017 for others. I just  bought this and finished my updates and  still hasn't corrected the problem in 2020.

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue
Use the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI tests to detect problems with the touch screen hardware.

1. Connect the AC adapter to the computer.
2. Press the Power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.
3. Turn on the computer and immediately press Esc repeatedly, about once every second. When the Startup Menu appears, press F2.
4. When the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics screen displays, click Component Tests.

Click Touch Screen. There are two interactive touch screen hardware tests. Click Touch Pointer Test first.

Read the on-screen instructions, and then click Run once. Touch each of the blocks on the screen to erase them. The test ends after you erase all the blocks or after three minutes have passed, and the results display.

Click Main menu to return to the main screen. Click Component Tests, and then click Touch Screen. Click Drag And Drop Test.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

1. Read the on-screen instructions, and then click Run once.
2. Drag each orange rectangle to the box indicated by the arrows with a finger or a stylus. The test ends after you reposition all the blocks or after three minutes, and the results display.
3. If the diagnostics tests pass but the touch screen still does not respond during regular use, continue to the next step.
4. If one or both tests fail, a 24-digit code, or failure ID, displays. Contact HP and provide this code. The failure ID is also available in Test Logs on the main menu.
