My warranty is out so I have no service left, but I did order it through Dell and it is listed in my past purchases. The hardware is not the issue and I still like the laptop so I really want the touch to work.
I really was just hoping that someone else has had the same issue and knew how to solve it.
I have been able to get it going but it is a stupid amount of work to go in and manually update not two but like five drivers. I have to redo anytime my system goes to sleep, so far I can't find the reason.
I am now scared to do the Win11 update that is what caused it so I am waiting to find the solution or hope someone will.
