Touchpad issues

[Ashersdashers]

Hello! I’ve accidentally turned off my touchpad on my HP laptop and I cannot turn it on. I’ve tried using touch screen to turn it back on and I won’t tap in the settings area. Nothing is helping.

Hi @Ashersdashers,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd like to help!

You may have changed some settings in your device manager.

Step 1: Press the Windows button and X to open a menu. Click Device Manager.

Step 2: Find "Mice and other pointing devices" and open the drop-down menu. You will see your mouse and your touchpad options. 

Step 3: Right-click your touchpad and click "enable". There you go! Hopefully, it works out.

Keep me posted for further assistance.
