Synaptics touchpad + win key disable animation not working

[BabaYaga]

Hello, the omen 15 comes with keyboard shortcuts to disable windows key and touchpad. While touchpad key has a light that indicates whether it's been disabled or not, the windows key doesn't come with such. So I heavily relied on the animation that was shown when I disabled/enabled them. But suddenly they stopped working and I can't figure out how to turn them back on. I've tried uninstalling amd reinstalling the latest drivers from HP.

Welcome to HP Community

I have gone through your Post and would like to help

I suggest you download and run the HP Support Assistant from this Link: https://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/hpsupportassistant/hpsupport.html?jumpid=va_r602_us/en/any/psg/p...

HPSA will automatically search for all the latest drivers for your Notebook

1. Click My devices in the top menu, and then click Updates in the My PC or My notebook pane.

   

2. Click Check for updates and messages to scan for new updates.

   

3. Review the list of updates. Updates with a yellow information icon are recommended. Updates with a blue information icon are optional.

4. Click the update name for a description, version number, and file size.

5. Select the box next to any updates you want to install, and then click Download and install.

Also ensure Windows is up to date.

Select the Start  button, and then go to Settings  > Update & security  > Windows Update , and select Check for updates. If Windows Update says your device is up to date, you have all the updates that are currently available

Keep me posted how it goes

Thank you and have a wonderful day 😊

Try installing the HP System Event Utility Link: https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp81001-81500/sp81404.exe
