I decided to disable the touchscreen on my laptop but now i want to re-enable it but now it tells me the following "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)" and underneath that it tells me the following "To fix this problem, reconnect the hardware device to the computer." i just want to re-enable the touch screen but i have no clue on what to do. (Nevermind i managed to get it fixed)
