ToogleTouchScreen

Toggle your touchscreen with just a button! Made to resolve false touch inputs of my Microsoft Surface Pro.

How it works

The powershell script looks for your touchscreen device using keywords you provide in the script file. Currently, it's set to Precise touch, which matches the touchscreen of a Surface 5.

It toggles the device from "enabled" to "disabled" or vice versa and displays a small message box for some seconds informing the user of what happened.

Now create a shortcut or use the existing one to pin the script to your start menu or taskbar.

That's it!

How to use it

1. Download the script or all files
2. Open the script touchscreen_toggle.ps1 and edit the keywords matching your devices name in the second line of the script.
3. Create a shortcut
   • Right-click on touchscreen_toggle.ps1 and select Create Shortcut
   • Right-click on the Shortcut and select Properties
   • Change the Target setting to the path to the script
   • Change the Start in setting to the folder containing the script
   • Change the Run setting to Minimized
   • Check Run as Administrator in Advanced Properties
   • Optional: Change the icon to the provided one or your own
4. Pin the Shortcut to your taskbar by dragging it into it or right-clicking Pin to Taskbar. Or pin it to your start menu with a right-click Pin to Start.
