Your Windows Touch Screen is a Pathological Liar

Ghost taps during Zoom calls.? Calibration acting like a diva.? Freezes mid-swipe like it’s buffering your rage.? Your touch screen isn’t broken—it’s gaslighting you. Let’s expose its drama.

Why Your Touch Screen Hates You (Spoiler: It’s Not Your Fault)

– Digitizer Drivers on Strike: Your “HID-compliant” driver is either drunk (zooms like a caffeinated squirrel) or comatose (ignores taps).
– Windows Updates = Sabotage: That “critical security patch”? It murdered your touch screen. Classic Microsoft.
– Sensitivity Roulette: Too sensitive (accidental zooms) or numb (taps vanish)? Blame bargain-bin hardware or firmware written by interns.
