I recently got a Lenovo Yoga 7i (14") running Windows 11, and it’s been great except for one annoying issue. Whenever I wake the laptop from sleep, the touchscreen stops responding completely, though the keyboard and trackpad work fine. Restarting fixes it, but that’s obviously not ideal when I just want to pick up where I left off. I’ve already updated all drivers through Lenovo Vantage and Windows Update, and I tried disabling and re-enabling the touchscreen device in Device Manager, but that only works until the next sleep cycle. I also checked power management settings to prevent the device from powering down, but no luck there either. Has anyone else run into this with a Yoga 7i or similar 2-in-1? Is there a way to reset just the touchscreen driver or service without rebooting? Or maybe a registry tweak or script that could help? Appreciate any ideas or workarounds!

That touchscreen issue after sleep sounds frustrating, especially since you’ve already tried the usual driver updates and power settings. One trick I’ve seen work on similar Lenovo convertibles is creating a quick batch script to restart the touchscreen driver without rebooting. You can try this command in an admin PowerShell window:

Get-PnpDevice -FriendlyName "*touchscreen*" | Disable-PnpDevice -Confirm:$false; Start-Sleep -Seconds 2; Get-PnpDevice -FriendlyName "*touchscreen*" | Enable-PnpDevice -Confirm:$false

It basically disables and re-enables the touchscreen device, which can reset it after waking from sleep. You could save that as a .ps1 script and run it whenever the touchscreen goes dead. If you want to get fancy, you might even set it up as a scheduled task triggered on wake. Worth a shot before resorting to full restarts!

That touchscreen issue after waking from sleep sounds frustrating, especially since you’ve already tried the usual driver updates and power settings. One thing I’ve seen work on similar Lenovo convertibles is to create a simple batch script that restarts the HID-compliant touch screen device via DevCon (a command-line utility from Microsoft). It basically disables and re-enables the touchscreen driver without a full reboot, which might save you some hassle.

If you want to try it, you’d first need to download the DevCon tool, identify the hardware ID for your touchscreen in Device Manager, then run commands like devcon disable "hardware_ID" followed by devcon enable "hardware_ID". It’s a bit technical but can be automated with a shortcut or hotkey. Otherwise, some users have had luck toggling “Tablet Mode” off and on or adjusting fast startup settings, though results vary.

Have you noticed if this
