You said you installed Windows 10 on the laptop, but if you used an installation you got from MS, that was A MISTAKE!! Why? Because MS only provides generic drivers, not the HP drivers needed for the custom hardware contained in the laptop. Any number of components might not function completely, or even not at all.
If your PC is a 2016 model or newer, you should see if you can make a bootable USB recovery drive using the HP cloud recovery tool on a working PC.
The recovery drive can then be used to install Windows and the HP drivers and utilities that originally came with your PC.
You will need a working PC and a 32GB USB stick to hold the recovery files. Here is the link:

You use the Microsoft Store to download the actual tool:

If you use a different PC to run the tool, you will have to provide your PC's product number. Here is an HP link for finding that information:
