Hi all,

I am sure you will know of a quick fix. I've had this laptop for about 6 months. The touchscreen was always a bit poor but at the moment, it's mostly not working. 

The laptop is LENOVO Yoga 7 16" 2 in 1 Laptop - Intel® Core™ Ultra 7, 512 GB SSD, Storm Grey.

I've wiped it down a few times and switched it on and off but it is still the same. Is there something I can do to make it start working fully?

    Start by doing the simple things first.
    1. Disconnect all peripherals and restart your laptop. Sometimes, a simple reboot can resolve temporary glitches.
    2. Perform a "power drain" by turning off the laptop, unplugging it, and holding the power button for 30–60 seconds. Then, power it back on.
    3. Try 
     holding a finger on the screen for 5+ seconds. If this temporarily reactivates the touchscreen, it might be a power management quirk.
    4. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters > Hardware and Devices. Run the troubleshooter and apply any recommended fixes.

    If it's always be a bit flaky then could be hardware to do with digitizer.
