Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you're well 🙂

 

As I understand the touchscreen stopped working after you upgraded to windows 10, don't worry, though, as I have a few steps that should resolve your concern:

 

First, let's start with performing a hard reset to release any excessive static/power that could have caused the issue:

 

To perform a hard reset on a computer with a removable battery, use the following steps:
 

1. Turn off the computer.

2. Remove the computer from any port replicator or docking station.

3. Disconnect all external connected peripheral devices such as USB storage devices, external displays, and printers.

4. Unplug the AC adapter from the computer.

5. Remove the battery from the battery compartment.

6. Press and hold down the Power button for about 15 seconds to drain any residual electrical charge from the capacitors that protect the memory.

7. Insert the battery and plug the AC adapter back into the notebook computer, but do not connect any of the peripheral devices.

8. Press the Power button to turn on the computer.

9. If a startup menu opens, use the arrow keys to select Start Windows Normally, and then press the Enter key.

10. After reconnecting each of the peripheral devices, run Windows Update and HP Support Assistant to update all device drivers.
 

Second, enable the touch screen driver in Device Manager:

1. In Windows, search for and open Device Manager.

2. Expand the Human Interface Devices heading.

3. The touch screen device is labeled HID-compliant touch screen, or similar. Right-click the touch screen device.

4. If the option to enable the device is included in the menu, click Enable.
 

If the Enable option does not appear in the menu, continue to the next step:

1. Reinstall the touch screen driver in Device Manager

2. Install Windows updates

3. Update the BIOS and graphics driver

4. Configure the touch display

5. Perform a touch screen diagnostic test in HP Hardware Diagnostics UEFI

6. Adjust the power management settings for your touch screen

7. Reset your computer

8. Perform a Microsoft System Restore

9. Perform an HP System Recovery

I have much experience with Touch screens and there issues in my Point of Sale employ.

 

A small obstruction such as a grain of sand or the like sandwiched between the touch panel and the outer plastic bezel will

hold the cursor in the spot where the obstruction is. If on a good panel you were to press a biro pen on any location of the screen and hold it there you would see how the cursor gravitates to that point regardless where else you touch.

 

You may have to remove the outer bezel away from the touch panel and clean all around the area.

 

Hope I have been of help.

Have cleaned the screen and surrounding area still the same problem you say the curser will automatically go to dirt on the screen when I try to drag the curser down I get two corsers on the screen this computer is only six months old and only used occasionally I'm really frustrated that a product this old is having this problem.

I had the same problem for the Envy also bought in March 2016.  It had to go back for repair. The touch screen would keep going back to the right side of the screen making the computer unusable.  It has been looked at but it now seems unresponsive on the right hand side. I cannot calibrate it.   I am going through the various things to reset the computer so i will let you know. 

 

It does seem a common problem on this model

Hi Resolv_S

 

Hi have been all through the options on the link provided and nothing has solved the problem. 

 

I have now got the latest bios, did the check on startup and this failed as 10 blocks from the right side in every row failed to work.  I have also tried every other method in your list.  All failed

 

I do not use the touch screen much but i feel that this product has now failed twice on the touch screen, having been already returned once before. 

In 12 months i feel that this product has been a slight let down and well below quality for a premium product.  I have also noticed that this product is no longer available for sale suggesting that this may have had other problems. 

 

 

I suggest that i return the product for repair or pay an additional cost for an upgade to a newer machine.
