Touchpad not working or showing up in device manager / settings

[ash0706]

Hi

I've been having this issue for months. The touchpad works randomly and not for long. I cannot see any touchpad in my settings. I cannot see the touchpad in the device manager. HP will not let me download any drivers on this device. There seems to be no way to download, install, or connect a device for the touchpad. How is this possible if my device comes with a touchpad?

Hi @ash0706 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. Thanks for bringing this to our notice.

I see that you are facing touchpad-related issues on your system. Do not worry, we are here to fix it.

• May I know from when are you facing this issue?
• Did you make any hardware or software-related changes to it?
• May I know what happens when you try to download the driver or install it? Did you try using HP Support Assistant?

If the touchpad driver is not visible in Device Manager: Open Device Manager (use Windows key + S to search for Device Manager). Select View, then Show Hidden Devices (use Alt + V to select the View tab menu, use down arrow to move to the menu option, and Enter to select).

I recommend you install the driver using the Windows updates and check if it helps.

Here is how it is done.

In the Windows search box, type Check for updates, and then click Check for updates in the results list.

Click one of the following options, if presented, on the Windows Update window:

If updates are available to download, click Install now.

If no updates are currently listed, click Check for updates, and then click Install now if Windows detects updates.

If you continue facing the issue, please perform a system restore back to the date when the touchpad was working fine.

Follow the steps in the below article to perform a system restore.
