When Windows Broke My Yoga: The Case of the Vanishing Touchscreen on the Lenovo Yoga 910-13IKB
Because nothing says “modern computing” like your touchscreen deciding it no longer wants to be touched.
Scene One: The Honeymoon
When I first unboxed my Lenovo Yoga 910-13IKB, it was love at first tap.
Sleek design, razor-sharp display, buttery-smooth touchscreen. I was flicking, pinching, and tapping my way through life like a caffeinated DJ.
The thing was perfect — a convertible laptop that made me believe “Yoga” wasn’t just a branding gimmick.
Scene Two: The Windows Update That Shall Not Be Named
Then came the update.
You know the one. The Windows Update that installs while you’re making coffee and leaves you with deep existential questions when you come back.
After that update, my Yoga suddenly forgot it was supposed to be… well, touch-sensitive.
The touchscreen just stopped responding.
Device Manager acted like it had never heard of “HID-compliant touchscreen.”
Windows politely informed me, “No Pen or Touch Input is available for this Display.”
It was as if my laptop had taken a vow of celibacy.
Scene Three: The Great Gaslight
Sometimes, after uninstalling the latest Windows update, the touchscreen would spring back to life — for a while.
It was like Windows whispering, “See? I can change.”
Then another update would arrive, and poof — gone again.
Touchscreen on. Touchscreen off. Like a cosmic joke told by Microsoft itself.
I began to suspect that somewhere deep in Redmond, there was a developer chuckling at my misery.
Scene Four: Desperation Googling
I did what any rational human would do: I Googled the problem obsessively at 3 a.m.
Forums? Full of the same cries for help.
Lenovo’s official support page? A barren wasteland.
Every thread ended with some poor soul typing:
“Lenovo Yoga 910 touchscreen not working — can’t find driver anywhere.”
No driver. No fix. No touch.
The touchscreen had effectively joined a witness protection program.
Scene Five: The Extraction
After scouring the internet and finding nothing, I finally took matters into my own hands.
Somewhere between stubbornness and madness, I managed to extract the original working touchscreen driver from a pristine Windows 10 installation.
Yes — I literally had to dig into the guts of Windows to rescue the driver myself.
When it finally worked again, I may or may not have whispered, “Who’s your daddy now?” to the screen.
Scene Six: Doing What Lenovo Wouldn’t
Because I refuse to let others wander the same touchscreen-less desert I did, I’ve uploaded the driver here for future reference.

So if your Yoga 910’s touchscreen stopped working after a Windows update — and uninstalling that update only fixes it when the planets align — this might just be your lifeline.
Scene Seven: The Moral of the Story
-
Windows updates giveth, and Windows updates taketh away.
-
Lenovo support pages age like milk.
-
Always, always back up your working drivers.
-
And sometimes, you just have to do it yourself — not because you can, but because no one else will.
TL;DR (for the SEO gods)
If your Lenovo Yoga 910-13IKB touchscreen stopped working after a Windows 10 update, it’s not just you.
The official driver doesn’t exist online, uninstalling updates only sometimes fixes it, and the solution ended up being to extract the touchscreen driver manually from a fresh Windows install.
I’ve uploaded it here so you don’t have to repeat the pain.
Final Thought
Now my Yoga 910 responds to touch again, and peace has been restored — until the next Windows Update decides to spice things up.
Dear Microsoft: next time you push an update, maybe don’t break the part of my laptop that makes it fun to use.
Dear Lenovo: next time you hide a driver, maybe don’t.
