After finally getting Resident Evil 4 and Grid Autosport to work on my laptop (so far), I thought I'd share the solution here to hopefully save others some time.
The Problem
Playing a game that uses DirectX 9 (specifically xaudio2_7.dll) on a Windows 10 device with an installed touchscreen results in an exception being thrown and the game crashing exactly 15 minutes in.
Checking Event Viewer will likely show that xaudio2_7.dll was unloaded.
The Solution
After a bunch of Googling, I found this post from someone having the same problem with Farcry 3.
What you need to do is:
Your game should run normally after that. Big thanks to the poster on that page, I owe you a beer!
I thought this would be thread worthy as it seems to affect quite a few games & emulators, unload me after 15 minutes if not.

What you need to do is:
1) Open Task Manager
2) Go to Services
3) Identify TabletInputService (Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service)
4) Stop the service
