Something does not seem right.  You mention the F.05 bios but the latest is F.33

 

I used your product ID 446B8AV and looked here

 

there two showed up

HP x2 / x360 Hybrids

Picking the bottom 446B8AV brought up this software page

where did you get the F.05 bios?

 

Do you have the latest HP Support Assistant?  Only update bios if the HPSA recommends it.

Here is the July 2022 ELAN touchpad driver

It is always dangerous to upgrade bios. Unless there is a real need and the HP support assistant requests the upgrade, I would not do it. Look at the BIOS revision history and see if an upgrade is useful. Updates that improve security are needed in a corporate environment but for gaming system they will likely slow down your system.
I personally would not upgrade any gaming BIOS that was only security related unless the PC was used in a corporate, industrial or military organization.

Check your warranty and decided if you want to risk a BIOS upgrade like these users did
