Welcome to HP Forums,
This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips to your technical queries.
I understand that you are facing issue with the scroll functionality on your PC
How long are you facing this issue?
Are you facing this issue after an update?
Have you tried changing any setting on your PC?
However, let's try changing TouchPad or ClickPad settings.
Change TouchPad or ClickPad scroll settings
Dedicated horizontal and vertical scroll gestures allow you to scroll inside a program window. These are enabled and pre-configured by default. You can customize and adjust how you scroll using one finger or two fingers and how the TouchPad or ClickPad responds to gestures near the edge.
Adjust Single-Finger Scrolling
-
Search Windows for mouse button, then click the Mouse or Change mouse settings Control Panel setting in the results
-
Click to highlight Scrolling. If the checkbox next to Scrolling does not contain a check mark, click the checkbox until a check mark displays to enable scrolling.

TouchPad edge behavior when scrolling
Scrolling behavior at the edge of the TouchPad is controlled within the scrolling settings pages. Under the settings for single finger or two finger scrolling, you can enable or disable EdgeMotion when scrolling. When enabled, EdgeMotion simplifies long-distance pointer motions. When you reach the edge of the TouchPad, the pointer continues to move until you lift your fingers off the TouchPad. Customize EdgeMotion using the following steps.
-
Search Windows for mouse button, then click the Mouse or Change mouse settings Control Panel setting in the results
-
EdgeMotion is located under Pointing. If you do not see EdgeMotion, click the Arrow icon
