Problems with touchpad

[shaw38]

I am running an hp 15-fd0023dx laptop. I am running ubuntu. I really like this plastic fantastic laptop and how upgradable it really is. DDR5 ram and m.2 drive easy to get at. The only thing that I really don't like is how the touch pad works. It works some of the time time. Its very intermittent. Its driving me crazy. I might try the old hard drive with windows 11 to see if it has the same problem.
