R14 touchscreen issues - constantly 'touching'

emily082

Hello!

 

I've been having issues with my touch screen. Every once in a while it seems as if the screen is constantly being tapped. It starts of just to the left of the clock (language area) and does a straight line up. I can see the feedback of where it's being 'touched'. 

The issue is very intermittent, and is often solved by restarting the computer. I'm on winter break from school right now and I don't want it to happen midway through a paper and end up losing everything!

 

I've also tried resetting the computer as per acers advice via phone but that didn't solve the issue.

edit: running windows 10, bought the laptop in September so it is pretty new.
