Hi @7549 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

That kind of lag can really throw off your groove—especially on a gaming laptop where responsiveness matters. 

Let’s walk through a few steps to help speed up your touchpad and get things feeling smooth again.

🛠️ Steps to Fix a Slow or Laggy Touchpad

1. Update the Touchpad Driver

• Press Windows + X → select Device Manager.
• Expand Mice and other pointing devices.
• Right-click your touchpad → choose Update driver → Search automatically.
• Restart your laptop after updating.

2. Adjust Touchpad Sensitivity

• Go to Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Touchpad.
• Set sensitivity to Medium or High.
• Also check Cursor speed and increase it slightly if needed.

3. Run HP Hardware Diagnostics

• Restart your laptop and press Esc repeatedly during startup.
• Select F2 to open diagnostics.
• Run the Touchpad test to check for hardware issues.

4. Perform a Hard Reset

• Shut down the laptop.
• Unplug the charger and remove any external devices.
• Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds.
• Plug it back in and power on.

5. Install Windows Updates

• Go to Settings → Windows Update → Check for updates.
• Install any pending updates and restart.

6. Reinstall the Touchpad Driver (If Lag Persists)

• In Device Manager, right-click the touchpad → Uninstall device.
• Restart your laptop—Windows will reinstall the driver automatically.

Let me know how it goes—I’ll be right here to help you fine-tune things! 💪🖱️
