Hi team,

 

  My notebook cursor is not working properly. Whenever I type something it goes back to starting point and writes in reverse direction. Please help.

 

Regards,

Ashwini

@AshwiniShikare Welcome to HP Community!

Does it happen only when typing or at random moments? 

While you respond try the below steps:

 

Attempt using an alternate/external mouse.

(If that works when the touchpad is disabled on Synaptic software, it would mean that it's a touchpad failure,

However, if the external mouse doesn't work either, it could be a software/driver issue).

 

Uninstall and reinstall the drivers for your mouse:

Go to the Device Manager and select your mouse. Uninstall it and then restart your computer. During restart, your mouse driver will automatically be reinstalled.

  • 1.   Click on Start and type ‘Device Manager’.
  • 2.   Click Device Manager.
  • 3.   Click + sign next to Mouse.
  • 4.   Right-click on mouse entry and choose "uninstall".
  • 5.   Restart your computer.

Let me know how that pans out,
