Microsoft Surface tablet owners using a pen, stylus, or finger as touch mode for providing input to the device may sometimes find the screen doesn’t respond appropriately. Touch input is on by default and can’t be turned off. Probably there’s a change in accessibility settings and programs; hence, you need to calibrate such settings. Also, check if you have the correct drivers installed.
Calibrate Surface Pen and Touch Settings
To adjust how accurately your screen senses when you use a pen or finger, swipe in from the right edge of the screen and then tap Search.
Enter Calibrate in the search box, tap Settings, and then Calibrate the screen for pen or touch input to open Tablet PC Settings. Check that the monitor shown in the Display field matches the screen you want to calibrate.
Tap Calibrate, and follow the on-screen instructions.

Change Pen and Touch actions
To change or adjust how fast, far, or long an action takes, swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.
