Last updated on August 20, 2017 By Venkat

When you upgrade from Windows 8.1 to 10, one known issue that users are experiencing is missing of incognito mode in Chrome, that has to do with your Microsoft family account.

Visiting Microsoft website and removing child account fixes the issue, and re-enables the incognito option and also the private browsing feature in the Google browser.

Chrome is not a touch-friendly browser from the beginning. Don’t worry! You can force it to always detect touch screen on startup (in Windows 10) by enabling a flag, by default it was set to ‘Automatic’, here is how.

1. Visit about:flags or chrome://flags in browser address bar

2. Find ‘Enable touch events’ flag (or directly visit this chrome://flags/#touch-events in omnibox) and change setting to ‘Enabled‘, relaunch the browser to apply the changes.

    When I type that in the search bar, a whole bunch of sites like this pop up and nothing helps. Could you explain a little further on how to get my touch screen to work with Chrome please

    I can use touch in Chrome, but with these settings enabled I can’t click the exact same links with my mouse. Do you know a solution for this?

      Have you tried restarting Chrome to see the issue persists?

    It doesn’t work, enable touch events was already Enabled. What next?

    For the record Opera works ok, Firefox & IE both froze despite having 16GB of RAM in this laptop.

    Thank you very much – a nice simple solution to something that was making sad/mad with my lovely zenbook flip – took me straight to the setting and when i changed it google asked if i wanted to restart chrome … i did and all the pages i had open refreshed themselves as touch enabled – so straight-forward when you know how .. hooray

    Touch Screen still does not work even after enabling the flags and restarting. Also I have noticed that I cant use the scroll function of my track pad either.
