#TOUCH SCREEN NOT WORKING ON CHROME WINDOWS#

The good part is that it appears that the Chrome team is aware of this and a Chrome bug is logged ( Chromium Bug 271222: When using the global Windows UI scaling feature, touchscreen touches are off by the set scale). Now some of ChromeвЂ™s chrome (menus, etc.) arenвЂ™t as crisp still but the main content area doesnвЂ™t confuse hit-targeting of your touch interaction because of the scale. Simpler fix and gets you scaling on your device as well. Scroll near the end and youвЂ™ll see a вЂњHighDPI Support WindowsвЂќ setting which is set to Automatic.ДЇorce this to Enable and re-launch Chrome. From the address bar, type вЂњchrome://flagsвЂќ and youвЂ™ll see a page of options. I learned that Chrome has вЂњflagsвЂќ that you can set to experiment with certain settings or override other default/automatic settings.

Workaround 2: set the Chrome flag for HighDPI Support To mitigate this you can use ChromeвЂ™s zoom feature to zoom to 150% to match most closely the high DPI scaling that automatically happens.Д«ut there has to be a better wayвЂ¦and is (in my opinion). Msn.com on Google Chrome with the compat setting enabledДЄfter this setting the hit-targets are fine and work but the content is small (although admittedly more of it is viewable, but that is too small for me). Msn.com on Google Chrome with no compat setting You can see here is the msn.com site before/after this compatibility setting: I didnвЂ™t like this option because immediately after restarting Chrome the display was crisp but вЂњtinyвЂќ to see for my aging eyes. In there you can check the option to disable DPI scaling: This involves you getting to the properties of the chrome.exe program and viewing the compatibility tab. Here are both of them for you to consider. I asked around the office and received one workaround, which I received, but also found a better one. IвЂ™m tapping on the 2nd image in the news highlights (indicated by the touch square indicator) but notice where the target is actually clicking вЂ“ on the date вЂњOctober 4вЂќ where the context menu is located:

This is from my Surface Pro with no changes. 66 m вЂ“ phew that was a mouthful of a version number). After some digging it appears to be that Google Chrome is not yet a high DPI-aware desktop application (at least of this writing which was using version. I installed Chrome on my Surface Pro and indeed saw the problem there. If you have a Surface Pro, for example, you are using a high DPI machine. Then I asked what machine they were on.ДЄlmost exclusively everyone was on a вЂњhigh DPIвЂќ machine (or had high DPI settings in their display). In fact I was initially confused about this myself because it was working fine for me on my machine (Lenovo x230t) but other people were insistent that it wasnвЂ™t working.

IвЂ™ve seen some reports and received some emails on email groups that IвЂ™m a part of around Windows 8 and Google Chrome browser and how touch is not working.
