Hi @Nipan1,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
If your HP laptop is automatically scrolling up, it could be caused by a hardware or software issue. Here's a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot and fix it:
Step 1: Check the Keyboard
- Stuck keys (especially the Up Arrow, Page Up, or Scroll Lock) can cause this.
- Gently press each key to ensure none are stuck.
- Try an external USB keyboard to see if the issue persists.
Step 2: Disable Touchpad Temporarily
Sometimes, the touchpad or touchpad gestures can cause scrolling.
- Press Windows + I to open Settings.
- Go to Bluetooth & devices > Touchpad.
- Toggle Touchpad off temporarily and test.
Step 3: Update or Reinstall Input Drivers
- Open Device Manager (right-click Start > Device Manager).
- Expand Keyboards and Mice, and other pointing devices.
- Right-click each device and select Update driver.
- If the issue persists, try uninstalling the device and restarting your laptop.
Step 4: Boot into Safe Mode
This helps determine if the issue is caused by third-party software.
- Press Windows + R, type msconfig, and press Enter.
- Go to the Boot tab and check Safe Boot.
- Restart your PC and test scrolling behavior.
If the issue stops in Safe Mode, a background app or driver is likely the cause.
Step 5: Run HP Hardware Diagnostics
- Restart your laptop and press Esc, then F2.
- Run Keyboard and Touchpad tests.
