Why do HP depend on 'community members' to provide support instead of actual support staff? Very strange.
I have a HP Pavilion x2 2 in 1 laptop. I formatted the device recently, and now it's missing proprietary HP drivers by the looks of things, because I can't scroll with two fingers on the trackpad, and I'm only getting audio out of one speaker. Can a HP representative forward me to a direct link to download these drivers, as I have had no luck with the website, it cannot even auto-detect the device. Additionally, I cannot install the newest video drivers for the Z8350 processor, as apparently they need to be 'signed' by HP. Can a HP representative send me a link to the latest video drivers that exist, and if they're not current, submit a ticket for someone on the software team to create signed drivers for the latest Z8350 video drivers.

Thank you for posting your query on HP Support Community,
What is the product number of your HP notebook? Use this link to find it: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c03754824 (Ensure you do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc...).
Have you installed a retail copy of Windows or OEM version of Windows?
Have you tried to update the drivers either using Windows update or using HP Support Assistant.
Let's try these steps here:
I would suggest you run the Windows update troubleshooter.
Download and install the troubleshooter from this link.
Now try to perform Windows Updates -
1) In the search box, type and open Windows Updates.
2) Check for updates.
3) If the updates are available, click on install and restart the computer.
I suggest you download and run the HP Support Assistant from this Link: https://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/hpsupportassistant/hpsupport.html?jumpid=va_r602_us/en/any/psg/p...
HPSA will automatically search for all the latest drivers for your Notebook

Also ensure Windows is up to date.
