Hi @rtjl,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community

 

I understand you are facing a fix mouse lagging and performance drops. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

 Please try the following Troubleshoots steps.

Method 1. Update the touchpad driver

Drivers are the backbone of your system. Even your touchpad has a driver to assist its functionality, meaning that if this driver is damaged or outdated, it might cause issues. To fix the two-finger scroll not working in Windows 10, you need to update your touchpad drivers.

  1. Press the Windows + R keys on your keyboard at the same time to bring up the Run utility.
  2. Type in “devmgmt.msc” without the quotation marks, then hit the OK button. This is going to launch the Device Manager in a separate window.

devmgmt.msc

 

  1. Expand the Mice and other pointing devices category.

  1. Right-click on your touchpad, then choose Update driver from the context menu. Follow any on-screen instructions to update the driver.
  2. After the update has successfully finished, reboot your laptop and check if two finger scroll is correctly working now.

Method 3. Change your mouse pointer

A strange method that users have found a solution in is changing your mouse pointer. The mouse pointer, also known as the cursor, is the arrowhead you use to click on things on your display. We all know and love the classic white and black pointer, but changing it to a different one may solve the two finger scroll not working.

  1. Press the Windows + R keys on your keyboard at the same time to bring up the Run utility.

run: control

 

  1. Type in “control” without the quotation marks, then hit the OK button. This is going to launch the Control Panel in a separate window.

  1. Click on the Mouse button. If you can’t see this, make sure to change your View mode to either Small icons or Large icons.

  1. Switch to the Pointers tab in the Mouse Properties window.
  2. Use the drop-down menu under Scheme to find a different pointer. Once selected, click the Apply button to change your mouse pointer.
  3. Check if two finger scroll is working after changing your pointer.
