Hey Sadie,
Thank you for reaching out. We're sorry to hear that your system isn't exhibiting the touchscreen feature. This model ThinkBook 16 is equipped with a touchscreen display. We apologize in advance for the lengthy response. We wish to provide you with as much information as possible, immediately, in hopes to help resolve the problem as soon as possible.
To try to resolve this in a simpler way, first, please restart your computer and see if this resolves the issue. If not, check for updates by opening the Settings app > Windows updates > Check for updates. After applying the available updates and your system reboots the issue has still not been resolved, if you're comfortable, try these more technical steps:
Step 1. Disable and re-enable HID-compliant touch screen. -Open Start and search for Device Manager. From the list of results click Device Manager to open it. -When Device Manager opens go to Human Interface Devices section and expand it. -Under Human Interface Devices section find HID-compliant touch screen. -Right click it and choose Disable. You might get asked if you’re sure that you wish to disable it, so click Yes. -Now right click HID-compliant touch screen again and choose Enable. -If the issue persists, continue below:
Step 2. Try to update the drivers manually. -Right click the touch screen device found in "Human Interface Devices" and "Mice and other Pointing devices", select "Update driver" > Select "Browse my computer for driver software" > Select "Pick from a list of available drivers on my computer" > Pick the latest driver associated with "Touch screen". If that driver does not work, try other drivers with "Touch screen, I2C and or Sensor" associated with it. > Check "Human Interface Devices" / "Software Devices" and "System Devices" and do the same for anything relating to "Sensor" (i:e HID-compliant sensor device) > If the problem persists, continue below:
Step 3. Try to Uninstall the device. -Right click the HID-Compliant Touch Screen device and/or USB Touchscreen controller, select Uninstall. -If prompted to uninstall drivers associated with the device, check the box and continue. -Now, while in the Device Manager. -Under System devices, check if you have two entries relating to "HID, Sensor, Intel Atom and/or I2C" -Uninstall and Restart the Computer so Windows installs the generic drivers for these devices. -If this didn't work. Try to uninstall/disable the USB Touchscreen controller in the "Mice and other pointing devices".
