Samsung Galaxy Book4 Touchscreen Unresponsive Windows 11: Fix

The Samsung Galaxy Book4 is a 2-in-1 convertible laptop with a capacitive touchscreen for pen and touch input. When the touchscreen becomes unresponsive on Windows 11, pen and touch input stop working and the device becomes less useful as a tablet. This guide covers every cause and fix for unresponsive touchscreen on the Galaxy Book4.

Why Samsung Galaxy Book4 Touchscreen Is Unresponsive

Touchscreen Driver Missing or Outdated

The Galaxy Book4 uses a Wacom or Goodix touchscreen controller. When Windows Update replaces the Samsung-validated touchscreen driver with a generic version, the screen will not respond to touch or pen input.

Touchscreen Disabled in Device Manager or BIOS

The Galaxy Book4 allows disabling the touchscreen through BIOS or Windows settings. When disabled, the screen will not respond to any touch input. Signs include:

• Touchscreen appears in Device Manager but is disabled
• BIOS shows Touch Screen set to Disabled
• Touch input works with mouse or keyboard only
• Pen input does not work even though stylus is present

I2C or Touch Controller Connection Issue

The touchscreen connects via I2C protocol on the Galaxy Book4. If the I2C controller or chipset driver becomes corrupted, the touchscreen will not be detected.

How to Fix Samsung Galaxy Book4 Touchscreen Unresponsive

Step 1: Update Touchscreen Driver from Samsung Support

1. Go to Samsung support website and search for Galaxy Book4.
2. Download the latest Touchscreen Driver or Touch Panel Driver for Windows 11.
3. Uninstall the current touchscreen driver in Device Manager completely.
4. Restart and install the new Samsung touchscreen driver.
5. Restart again and test touch input on the screen.

Step 2: Enable Touchscreen in BIOS and Windows

Restart the Galaxy Book4 and press F2 at startup to enter BIOS. Look for Touch Screen or Integrated Peripherals and verify it is set to Enabled. Save and exit BIOS. In Windows, verify touchscreen is enabled in Device Manager and is not marked as disabled.

Step 3: Update Chipset and I2C Controller Drivers

Install the latest chipset driver and I2C controller driver from Samsung support. These drivers enable the touchscreen to communicate properly with Windows.
