In which file does Windows 10 store touch calibration data?2. Is it possible to copy / paste touch calibration data from a test Windows 10 system to a "new" Windows 10 system?3. If I can't export/import the registry, what tool should I use with what parameters in order to correctly calibrate the touchscreen, via console app?Mention:I looked on the forum for similar ques

Touch screen calibration

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Ideally the touch screen calibration doesn’t change when there is any update performed on the PC. However, there could be possibilities that the settings might change, if the touch screen drivers are updated during the upgrade/update.
Also, the registry location for the touch calibration is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH\CalibrationData.



Usually, the touch calibration might not change after replacing the registry key from an older version to a newer version of Windows. However, if the version of drivers are different for the touch screen there might be possibilities
that the calibration needs to be done again.



We can export or take the back up of key and then import it to the new windows 10 version, to replace the registry from old version to a new version of Windows, you may need to take a backup of the registry key. Refer the article

How to back up and restore the registry in Windows.



Note:
Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection,
back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.



Hope it helps.

If the issue persists, I would suggest you to install latest touch screen drivers from the computer manufacturer website and check if it helps. If Windows 10 drivers are not available in the computer manufacturer website, you may install the latest touch screen
