Welcome to the HP Forums,
We'll be with you until it's all sorted & beyond!
Is the taskbar still working or has that disappeared too?
- If yes, you may want to press Windows key + X, Select Run and type - "explorer.exe", then enter to get the taskbar back.
- If no, connect an alternate or external mouse, then, Right-Click on the desktop, Select View and then "Show desktop icons" and check if they are back.
Let me know which of the above steps have worked, the fate of your devices fix, depends on it. 😉
I hope that answers your query,
