My touchpad has not been working for the past week. Despite attempting various troubleshooting steps, I have not been able to resolve the issue. I noticed that in the Device Manager, the I2C HID Device is displaying an error (Code 10). I believe this might be the underlying cause of the touchpad malfunction.
I would greatly appreciate your assistance in solving this problem.

BIOS Update
Updating your BIOS can sometimes fix hardware compatibility issues.
- Visit the HP support website and look for any BIOS updates available for your HP Pavilion X360.
- Follow the instructions provided on the website to update your BIOS.
Check for Conflicting Devices
Sometimes, other devices might conflict with the touchpad.
- Open Device Manager.
- Look for any devices with a yellow triangle (indicating an issue).
- Resolve any conflicts by updating or disabling these devices.
Hardware Check
There might be a physical issue with the touchpad or its connection.
- If you're comfortable, you can open the laptop and check if the touchpad's ribbon cable is securely connected.
Reset Windows
As a last resort, you can reset Windows, which will reinstall the OS while keeping your personal files.
- Go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery.
- Under "Reset this PC," click Get started.
- Choose to keep your files, but be aware that this will remove apps and settings.
By following these steps, you should be able to identify and possibly fix the issue causing your touchpad malfunction.
I hope this helps.
