Thanks for engaging in HP support Forums! This is a wonderful location to converse with the community, get assistance and find tips! As I understand the right click on touchpad does not work on your new HP notebook, Don't worry as I have a few suggestions to help you out,
Let's understand the touchpad on your HP notebook:
For more details, please go through the Maintenance and service guide of your notebook.
If you have checked and still having the issue. In that scenario, I would suggest you try these steps here:
First, restart the computer and tap on F10 during restart, once on BIOS screen, move the mouse cursor around to check if it works normally,
If it does, it would confirm a software issue and you follow the below steps if it doesn't work on its a hardware failure and I would suggest a touchpad replacement.
I recommend you to uninstall any generic synaptic drivers showing up for the touchpad (if available) under hidden devices from the device manager:
- Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
- At a command prompt, type the following command , and then press ENTER:
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
- Type the following command a command prompt, and then press ENTER:
start devmgmt.msc
- Troubleshoot the devices and drivers in Device Manager.
NOTE: Click Show hidden devices on the View menu in Device Manager before you can see devices that are not connected to the computer. - When you finish troubleshooting, close Device Manager.
- Type exit at the command prompt.
Note that when you close the command prompt window, Window clears the devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 variable that you set in step 2 and prevents ghosted devices from being displayed when you click Show hidden devices.
And then download a new version of the synaptic drivers using this link: Click here
