Hi! @AnkitRajput, I am the Mr.Robot. It looks like you were interacting with @MKazi, but he is out of the office today, so I'll take over from here.
I appreciate your efforts for trying out the steps.
As you mentioned the issue still persists after trying out the steps.
Try uninstalling the touchpad drivers from device manager and install the touchpad drivers from recovery manager and check if it helps.
Refer this article to know how to restore drivers using HP recovery manager.
Let me know if this works!
Have a great day ahead! 🙂

Thanks for reaching out to us on HP Support Forums. 🙂 I came across your post and would like to help.
I understand that you have an HP 15-r006tu Notebook. I read that touchpad is not working correctly and sometimes works and sometimes does not. I read that this issue started after installing the latest Synaptics driver. Not to worry, I'll do my best to help you.
I recommend you to perform the following steps to isolate the issue and arrive at a fix:
- Open the device manager.
- Expand "Mice and other pointing devices".
- Right click on the touchpad drivers and select rollback. If the rollback option is missing then select uninstall.
- Close the device manager.
- Restart the laptop. While restarting, Windows will automatically reinstall the touchpad drivers.
If the issue persists then download and run the Synaptics TouchPad Driver from the HP website: http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp72001-72500/sp72088.exe
I sincerely hope this fixes the issue. Feel free to keep me posted with the results. Cheers! 🙂
