I had this on a laptop, the caused seemed to be an old touchpad driver that wasn't compatible with S0 "low power mode" which Windows defaults to now. If you know your device supports S3 sleep, you can force Windows to use it. My identical problem went away.

reg #### add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power /v PlatformAoAcOverride /t REG_DWORD /d 0

(By removing the #### and pasting the above readers agree that I am not liable for breakages)

Thanks! Will pass it on in my org.

Interesting--I have the 3rd gen X1 Yoga and have issues with the touch screen, and that is only fixed by shutting and reopening the lid. Running Arch Linux. Bummer that there are still dumb issues like this

Some of the Dell XPS touchpads do that as well. I suspect it's a shitty driver for a generic part.
