The ScreenPad Plus on the ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo 14 shows a black screen, freezes on a static image, or lacks the ScreenXpert panel when touched. The Intel Core Ultra 9 185H model drives the ScreenPad Plus as a separate OLED secondary display managed by ASUS-specific software that can be broken by Windows 11 updates.
Fix 1 — Reinstall ScreenPad Driver from ASUS Support
- Go to ASUS Support for Zenbook Pro Duo 14 using your serial number
- Download the ScreenPad Driver (under Display or Utility)
- Also download ASUS System Control Interface v3
- Install both in order: System Control Interface first, then ScreenPad Driver
- Restart and check if the ScreenPad Plus lights up
Fix 2 — Reinstall ScreenXpert from Microsoft Store
Open Microsoft Store → search for ScreenXpert → click Get to install or reinstall it. After installing ScreenXpert, open it from the taskbar icon. The ScreenPad Plus interface should reappear with the ASUS app launcher and control panels.
Fix 3 — Update Intel Arc Graphics Driver
Download the Intel Arc graphics driver from ASUS Support for Zenbook Pro Duo 14. Install and restart. The updated Intel driver includes multi-display timing fixes that improve ScreenPad Plus startup reliability.
Fix 4 — Confirm ScreenPad is Extended Display
Press Win + P → select Extend. In Settings → System → Display → identify the ScreenPad Plus (usually the smaller display) and confirm it is set to Extend, not Duplicate. ScreenXpert functions only in Extended mode.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the ScreenPad Plus not working on ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo 14?
The ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo 14 ScreenPad Plus secondary display requires the ASUS ScreenPad Driver and ASUS ScreenXpert software to operate. A Windows 11 update can uninstall or corrupt these apps, making the ScreenPad show as a black screen or a standard secondary display without ScreenPad features.
How do I reinstall the ScreenPad driver on ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo 14?
Go to ASUS Support for Zenbook Pro Duo 14 and download the ScreenPad Driver and ScreenXpert app package. Also download the ASUS System Control Interface driver. Install all three, restart, and the ScreenPad Plus should become functional again.
Can the ASUS ScreenXpert app be reinstalled from the Microsoft Store?
Yes. Search for ScreenXpert in the Microsoft Store on the Zenbook Pro Duo 14 and reinstall it. However, the ScreenPad hardware driver must also be installed from ASUS Support — the Store app alone is not sufficient to restore all ScreenPad Plus features.
Does the ScreenPad Plus affect display performance on Zenbook Pro Duo 14?
Yes. The ScreenPad Plus is driven as a second display by the Intel Arc graphics in the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H. Running both the main 14-inch display and the ScreenPad Plus simultaneously uses additional GPU memory bandwidth. The ScreenPad can be dimmed or turned off via ScreenXpert if not in use.
