Welcome to HP Support Forums. 🙂
MKazi is at your service.
I understand that you have an HP Pavilion x360 series laptop and the palm rejection is not working even though it is already set "right hand" to write with and enable "ignore touch i put when using my pen". Not to worry, I'll be glad to assist you with this case.
Could you tell the exact model number of the HP laptop. This link will help in locating the model number: https://hp.care/2fzXWAI
