Hi @Reenaise, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
It sounds frustrating to deal with a touchpad that keeps clicking on its own. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:

Restart Your Laptop: Sometimes, a simple restart can fix temporary glitches.

Check for Physical Obstructions: Ensure there's no dirt or debris stuck under the touchpad. You can gently clean around the edges with a soft cloth.

Update or Reinstall Touchpad Drivers:

• Go to Device Manager.
• Expand Mice and other pointing devices.
• Right-click on your touchpad driver (usually Synaptics or ELAN) and select Uninstall.
• Restart your laptop, and Windows should automatically reinstall the driver.

Adjust Touchpad Settings:

• Go to Settings > Devices > Touchpad.
• Adjust sensitivity settings and disable any unwanted gestures.

Perform a Hard Reset:

• Turn off your laptop.
• Disconnect all external devices and remove the battery (if possible).
• Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds.
• Reconnect the battery and power on your laptop.

Run HP PC Hardware Diagnostics:

• Restart your laptop and press F2 repeatedly to enter the diagnostics menu.
• Run the touchpad test to check for hardware issues.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
