Welcome to the HP Forums 🙂 

I would like to take a moment and thank you for using this forum, it is a great place to find answers. 

As I understand the cursor has an erratic movement issue,

No worries, as I'll be glad to help you, that said, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern & provide an accurate solution: 

Considering you've already used an alternate mouse, does that have the same issue?

Does the issue occur before booting into Windows as well?

While you respond to that, here's a few things you need to check:

To help you with the Official HP website for Software and download: Click here

You may use this website to download the relevant drivers, that said, If an alternate/external mouse didn't work either, this could either be a corrupt driver or the touchscreen and hence I request you run an extensive system test using the Hardware Diagnostics tool:
Click here for instructions.

That said, you could also access the BIOS screen (by tapping F10 during a restart) and check if the mouse is jumping on its own if it is, it would confirm a hardware malfunction, if it doesn't then, updating the drivers should fix the issue.

Let me know if those steps worked for you,

If they did, that's awesome!

Give us some reinforcement by clicking the solution and kudos buttons,

that'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!

Good Luck

Hi Riddle_Decipher,

thankyou for your quick response. I have tried a new mouse which jumps about just the same,  The issue does appear when i load up the diagnostic page, although nowhere near as bad as in windows.

i have it running an extensive system test at the moment.

thanks

Ho Riddle_Decipher,

i hav finally finished running the system test. when i ran the all test it came back as passed, when i ran a component test on the touch screen i was only able to remove a few of the squares, it did randomly turn others off as well, the test shows as cancelled even though it ran out of time while completing it.

would this be a driver issue or a hardware issue ?

thanks

Thank you for replying with this detailed response 😉 

I appreciate your time and efforts,

This is, unfortunately, a hardware issue, normally such interactive tests would have a manual option to select test failed, if you aren't able to move those boxes around, the fact that it didn't work either would go to show a hardware malfunction and I would strongly recommend you Contact HP to get either a repair or replacement of the faulty parts:

HP Technical Support can be reached by clicking on the following link: http://h22207.www2.hp.com/us-en/?openCLC=true

(1) Once the support page opens please select the country in which you're located. Next, enter your HP model number on the right.

(2) Next, choose the 'Contact Support' tab at the top and scroll down to the bottom of the 'HP Support- Contact' page to fill out the form provided with your contact information.

(3) Once completed click the 'Show Options' icon on the bottom right.

(4) Lastly, scroll down to the bottom of the page and select 'Get the phone number.' A case number and phone number will now populate for you.

They will be happy to assist you immediately. 

If the unit is under warranty repair services under the manufacturer's warranty will be free of charge.

If the product is Out of warranty, you may find the faulty part and their part numbers on the HP PARTS SURFER and order the replacement parts on the HP PARTS STORE or the local retailers as the part numbers are universal.

If I have helped you resolve the issue, 

feel free to give me a virtual high-five by clicking the 'Thumbs Up' icon 

followed by clicking on 'Accepted as Solution' 

And Have a great day Ahead!

This is a *solvable* hardware issue, resulting from the HP Envy's touchpad responding improperly to fluctuations in the grounding system.  It can be solved by removing the touchpad's grounding entirely.  I am typing on such an Envy right now, whose problems I have completely solved with no recurrence for over a year.  The fix requires completely dissassembling the computer down to the touchpad, and removing all grounding strips and pads from it, and those of the metal bar which connects the pad physically to the mouse button. 

If my solution fixed your problem, please mark "solved".
