Problem with frozen mouse on Spectre (with photos)

[Spectre_20]

Hi,

I am experimenting with HP support on this issue:

I work with mouse on my laptop. After some time, the mouse stops working....

1. when mouse stops working

2. a white cycle appears on top right corner of screen (see photo #1 below)

3. when I move the mouse, cursor is flickering (see photo 2 + 3  below), but does not work

4. when I touch the cycle (even when touchscreen is inactive!!), mouse works again - at least for some time, until it stops again.

Can someone explain the magic? I have tried all kinds of stuff, but the problem persists. 

It does not matter,

- if I use a wireless HP mouse

- or a mouse via cable

- if I switch off touch pad or not

- if I disable touchscreen

- if I update BIOS and other stuff

... to name some ideas of German HP support. Latest guess: Touchscreen is broken, send the laptop in for repair..

Can someone help me? I have the impression, the internet is full with this specific Spectre problem, but is there a solution?

Would be very highly appreciated.😪

Hi@Spectre_20, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I understand that you are facing issues with the touchpad wherein the cursor freezes.

This issue could occur if the BIOS or Touchpad drivers are not updated.

Let's go through a few steps to troubleshoot this issue.

And here's the step by step guide for you in the link: Using the TouchPad or ClickPad (Windows 10)

You may also follow the steps in the link to check if the issue is with the mouse or keyboard: Notebook Keyboard Troubleshooting (Windows 10,

- compoent tests are ok? Yes.

The problem persists no matter if I have the touch pad on or off.
