The touchscreen has stopped working, and the driver appears to be gone. Any ideas?

I'm not sure how long ago it stopped working, so I can't identify any changes that might have caused it.

@CharlesP2 Did you check if the touchscreen works in the BIOS Screen? 

• This would help us determine if this is either a software or hardware related issue, hence I request you tap on F10 during a PC restart and check if you can use the touch feature to select options outside windows.
• If it doesn't work, this could be a hardware malfunction.
• If it works, please use the HP website to download all the latest drivers for your device using this link: click here

Well, it looks like a hardware problem; I do not have touch feature at the BIOS screen either.
