OverviewFix 1 — Enable in Device MgrFix 2 — Reinstall DriverFix 3 — CalibrateFix 4 — BIOS Update
The Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 8 touchscreen stops responding to taps and gestures. The Intel Core i7 1360P model uses an ELAN capacitive touch digitiser connected via I2C, which is sensitive to driver conflicts introduced by Windows 11 updates.
Fix 1 — Enable Touch in Device Manager
Device Manager → Human Interface Devices → right-click “HID-compliant touch screen” → Enable device. A Windows update commonly disables this. If already enabled, disable it and re-enable to reset the driver state.
Fix 2 — Reinstall ELAN Touch Driver
- Uninstall HID-compliant touch screen in Device Manager
- Download ELAN Touch Panel Driver from Lenovo Support
- Install and restart
- Re-test touch in both laptop and tablet mode
Fix 3 — Calibrate the Touch Screen
Search “Calibrate the screen for pen or touch input” in Windows Search. Select “Touch” and run through the on-screen targets. Save the calibration. This corrects offset issues after driver reinstall.
Fix 4 — Update BIOS via Lenovo Vantage
Open Lenovo Vantage, go to System Update, and install any available BIOS update. Lenovo occasionally patches ELAN touch firmware issues in BIOS releases for the Yoga 9i Gen 8.
