Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I appreciate your efforts to try and resolve the issue. To provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

• What are the troubleshooting steps you have tried so far?
• When was the last time it worked fine?

While you respond to that, let's try these steps: 

Click Start , and then type mouse in the search field.

Click Change your mouse settings.

Click Additional mouse options.

In Mouse Properties, click the TouchPad tab.

NOTE: Some HP notebooks have an HP Control Zone tab. If your notebook has this tab, open it and click HP Control Zone Disable.

If the properties window does not have a TouchPad option, then the TouchPad functionality is not available.

Uncheck Double Tap to Enable or Disable TouchPad.

NOTE: If the option is not available on the Mouse Properties window, click Settings to open the Synaptics Control Panel. On the Click tab, uncheck Double Tap to Enable or Disable TouchPad.

Click Apply, and then click OK.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
