touch screen not recognised after every win 10 update

[mb89]

hi. repeatedly, presumably every time Win 10 updates, my touch screen stops working and the 'advice' on HP site and virtual assistant doesnt help. i did once manage to fix it by flashing bios but that no longer corrects it. in device manager the HID Touch does not appear, so i can't enable or update driver. the laptop just doesn't recognise that the screen is Touch. Has anyone any advice please? Thanks

@mb89 Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that the touch screen is not working.

I have a few steps that should resolve your concern:  

I recommend checking if the Touch is working on BIOS (Accessed by tapping on F10 while restarting the computer). 

If it works on bios, it's a software issue, update the drivers from the HP Website, if the issue persists: please reinstall windows using the recovery partition or the recovery media to fix the issue 

Attempt to run a test using the HP hardware diagnostic tool, 

If it doesn't work on BIOS or the diagnostics tool either,  

it's a hardware failure and you may need to Contact HP to set up a hardware repair service. 

Keep us posted,

Thanks Parveen. it looks like it may be a hardware  issue but there doesnt seem to be a test i can run for the touchscreen in the HP Hardware Diagnostic Tool to confirm?
