Windows – How to you disable or turn off the Lenovo Ideapad Flex 14 (Windows 8) touch screen function

lenovo-laptoptouchscreenwindows 8

I saw some similar questions here, but they applied to a different model of laptop and the answers they provided didn't work as my settings are different. I tried checking the Device Manager but I don't see any "HID-compliant touch screen" under the "Human Interface Devices" section. I've added a screenshot of the relevant section in Device Manager, but I'm unsure of which entry needs to be changed to disable the touch screen functionality.

It maybe under mice and other pointing devices, like in this image:

Right click and choose disable.

It may be worth a try checking the Control Panel.

  1. Go to Control Panel,
  2. Then Hardware and Sounds.
  3. Select Pen and Touch and
  4. Go to the Touch tab.
  5. Now uncheck the dialog "Use your finger as an input device".
