2.) Why is it so popular to deactivate and activate the touch screen?


Touch screens tend to attract dirt, dust, and fingerprints, which can affect image quality and increase the need for frequent screen cleaning. For certain tasks that require high precision, such as working with small keys or drawing detailed images, a touchscreen may be less accurate than a mouse or graphics tablet.

Not all Windows applications are optimally optimized for touchscreen operation. Some older or specialized software applications may not work well on touchscreen devices.

Although touchscreen capabilities on Windows devices offer many advantages, there are also some potential disadvantages. Constantly raising your arms to touch the screen can be tiring during prolonged use. This can be particularly uncomfortable on desktop computers as the screen is usually at eye level and cannot be easily touched.
