Hello. I have a 15" in touchscreen laptop. The cursor randomly migrates to the left side of the screen and will click out of the screen. The mouse pad is not working properly either.  I have been advised that I need to have the keyboard drivers un-installed and re-installed. I have located them on the software support. My question is if I choose to download them will they automatically un-install the current ones and should I only download  the driver with the most recent release date?

Step 1 Windows Updates -

1) In the search box, type and open Windows Updates.

3) If the updates are available, click on install and restart the computer.

 

Step 2 HP Support Assistant Updates -
