Touch input on the Lenovo Yoga 7 Gen 8 AMD stops responding. The display, keyboard, and trackpad continue to work. A Windows 11 update sometimes disables or corrupts the HID-compliant touch screen driver that handles the ELAN touch controller on this 2-in-1 model.
Fix 1 — Disable and Re-Enable the Touch Screen in Device Manager
- Right-click Start → Device Manager → Human Interface Devices
- Right-click HID-compliant touch screen → Disable device
- Wait 5 seconds → right-click again → Enable device
- Test touch input on the screen
Fix 2 — Flip Screen Through All Modes
Rotate the Yoga 7 Gen 8 screen into tent mode, then tablet mode, then back to laptop mode. The 360-degree hinge sensor triggers a touch controller reset when modes change, which often restores touch functionality.
Fix 3 — Reinstall ELAN Touch Driver
Device Manager → Human Interface Devices → right-click HID-compliant touch screen → Uninstall device. Download the ELAN touch driver from Lenovo Support for Yoga 7 Gen 8 and install. Restart.
Fix 4 — Run Lenovo Vantage System Update
Open Lenovo Vantage → System Update → Check for updates. Install all available driver updates including touch and display drivers. Lenovo Vantage provides the correct ELAN driver version tested for the Yoga 7 Gen 8 AMD platform.
