@Zamokuhle,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I recommend you uninstall the touchpad driver from device manager and then download and install it from the below link.

Here is how it is done.

1. Type "Device Manager" into the search field to open the device manager console.
2. Expand the node that represents the type of device that you want to uninstall, right-click the device entry, and click Uninstall.
3. On the Confirm Device Removal dialog box, click OK to start the uninstall process.
4. When the uninstall process is complete, remove the device.

NOTE: On the Confirm Device Removal dialog box, click the Delete the driver software for this device option to delete the driver package that was used for the device.

If you continue facing the issue, then run a virus scan on the computer as this issue can occur when there is a virus or a malware on your computer.

Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!
