How to Calibrate or Adjust Microsoft Surface Touch & Pen Settings

Microsoft Surface tablet owners using a pen, stylus or finger as touch-mode for providing input to the device may find sometimes the screen doesn't respond appropriately. Touch input is on by default and can't be turned off. Probably there's a change in accessibility settings and programs hence, you need to calibrate such settings. Also, check if you have correct drivers installed.

To adjust how accurately your screen senses when you use a pen or finger, swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.

Enter Calibrate in the search box, tap Settings, and then Calibrate the screen for pen or touch input to open Tablet PC Settings. Check that the monitor shown in the Display field matches the screen you want to calibrate.

Tap Calibrate, and follow the on-screen instructions.
