Hi @Badsha9,

Thanks for stopping by the HP community. A very good day to you.  I reviewed the post regarding issues with the left click on the touchpad not working correctly after a windows 10 update. I will be delighted to assist you here.

Superb description and stupendous diagnosis of the issue before posting. Kudos to you for that. 🙂

For better clarity and to assist you better I would require more information regarding this:

• Did a power outage or surge occur before this?

For now, try these steps:

• Run diagnostics on the touchpad by following the steps from this link: http://hp.care/2uoegKc and run the touchpad tests under component tests.
• If it fails, it displays a failure code. Make a note of it and contact HP phone support to get it replaced.
