Touchpad driver missing

[Francesca_00]

After the update to windows 11 24H2 the touchpad stopped working. Updating the driver didn't work so i disinstalled it, but now I can't find a compatible driver file to redownload and the hp website offers only the filter driver file under the options for my laptop.

@Francesca_00, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
Here's a step-by-step guide to help resolve the issue with the missing touchpad driver on your HP Pavilion 15.6 inch Laptop PC 15-eh1000 (2H5A7AV) after updating to Windows 11 24H2:

Visit the Official HP Drivers Page

Go to the official HP support page for your laptop model: HP Pavilion 15-eh1000 Drivers Page

Select the Correct Operating System

• Under “Choose your operating system”, select:
  • Windows
  • Windows 11 

If 24H2 is not listed, choose the latest available Windows 11 version.

Download the Synaptics or Precision Touchpad Driver

• Look under the “Driver - Keyboard, Mouse and Input Devices” section.
• If only a Filter Driver is listed, try the following:
  • Expand “Driver - Original” or “Software - Solutions” sections.
  • If still unavailable, proceed to Step 4.

Use Windows Update or Device Manager

1. Open Device Manager:
   • Press Win + X → Select Device Manager
2. Scan for Hardware Changes:
   • Right-click on your PC name at the top → Click Scan for hardware changes
3. Manually Install Driver:
   • If the touchpad appears under “Other devices” or “Unknown devices”:
     • Right-click → Update driver → Search automatically for drivers
     • If that fails, choose Browse my computer for drivers → then Let me pick from a list → Select HID-compliant touchpad or Synaptics/ELAN/Precision Touchpad if available.

Use HP PC Hardware Diagnostics

• Download and run HP PC Hardware Diagnostics for Windows to check if the touchpad hardware is being detected. HP PC Hardware Diagnostics | HP® Support

Install HP Support Assistant

• Download HP Support Assistant and run it to automatically detect and install missing drivers. HP Support Assistant | HP® Support

Additional Tips

If the touchpad still doesn’t work, try checking Windows Optional Updates:

• Go to Settings → Windows Update → Advanced options → Optional updates.
• Look for any touchpad or input device drivers.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
