Thank you for joining HP Forums.
It's a pleasure assisting you in finding answers to your technical queries.
To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:
Are you facing this issue after an update?
Have you tried Updating the BIOS?
When was the notebook working fine?
Let's check if you are facing the same issue in the BIOS page.
Follow the below steps to boot into BIOS page.
1. Turn on or restart the computer.
2. While the display is blank, press the f10 key to enter the BIOS.
If the touchpad is working fine.
1. Press Windows+X to open the menu, and choose Device Manager on it.
2. In the device manager, expand category "Mice and other pointing devices".
3. Under this category, right click on your Synaptics Touchpad driver and click on Uninstall.
4. You may be required to confirm the uninstallation. Check the box next to "Delete the driver software for this device" and click OK button.
5. Restart the notebook.
