ASUS Touch Package Update: What’s New and How to Upgrade

What’s new

• Improved touch accuracy: Refined touch-driver algorithms reduce jitter and improve palm rejection for more reliable taps and gestures.
• Expanded gesture support: New multi‑finger gestures for app switching and virtual desktops have been added.
• Faster calibration: A streamlined calibration routine that completes in fewer steps and adapts dynamically to screen conditions.
• Stability and compatibility fixes: Resolved crashes with specific Windows updates and improved compatibility with recent ASUS hardware revisions.
• Battery and performance optimizations: Reduced background resource usage for longer battery life on laptops and tablets.

Before you upgrade (preparation)

1. Back up important files. Create a system restore point or full backup in case you need to roll back.
2. Check compatibility. Confirm your model supports the latest ASUS Touch Package (refer to your model’s support page).
3. Plug in power. Ensure your device is connected to AC power to avoid interruptions.
4. Disconnect peripherals. Unplug nonessential USB devices to prevent installation conflicts.

How to upgrade (step-by-step)

1. Open Device Support or MyASUS: Launch the MyASUS app (or ASUS Support Center) included with your laptop.
2. Check for updates: Go to the “Updates” or “Live Update” section and scan for driver/package updates.
3. Download the ASUS Touch Package update: If listed, select the ASUS Touch Package and click Download.
4. Install the update: Once downloaded, click Install and follow on‑screen prompts. Allow the installer to run; it may require administrative rights.
5. Restart your device: Reboot when prompted to complete driver installation and apply calibration updates.
6. Run touch calibration (optional): After reboot, open touch settings in MyASUS or Windows Settings → Devices → Touchscreen (if available) and run the calibration for optimal accuracy.

Troubleshooting after upgrade

• Touch not responding: Reboot, then check Device Manager → Human Interface Devices for driver status; rollback driver if needed.
• Gesture issues: Re-run calibration and ensure MyASUS gestures are enabled; reinstall the package if gestures remain missing.
• Performance problems: Use Device Manager to update or rollback related drivers (e.g., chipset, display); perform a system restore if necessary.

Rollback (if needed)

• Open Device Manager → Human Interface Devices → right‑click the touch driver → Properties → Driver → Roll Back Driver.
• Alternatively, use System Restore to revert to the restore point created before the update.

Tips

• Keep Windows Update current—some ASUS touch features rely on recent Windows components.
• Install firmware and chipset updates along with the touch package for best compatibility.
• If unsure about compatibility, download the package from the official ASUS support page for your exact model.
