Hi @thara1,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If the two-finger swipe gesture is not working on your HP Notebook touchpad, you may need to check and update your touchpad drivers. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you.
Update Drivers:
- Press Win + X and select "Device Manager."
- Locate and expand the "Mice and other pointing devices" category.
- Right-click on your touchpad device and choose "Update driver."
Windows Update:
- Make sure your Windows operating system is up to date. Sometimes, Windows updates include driver updates.
HP Support Assistant:
- If your laptop came with the HP Support Assistant software, open it and check for updates. It often helps in updating drivers specific to your HP device.
HP Website:
- Visit the official HP website (https://support.hp.com/) and navigate to the support section.
- Enter your laptop model and look for the latest touchpad drivers for your specific model.
Rollback Driver:
- If the issue started after a driver update, you can try rolling back the driver. In the "Device Manager," right-click on the touchpad device, choose "Properties," go to the "Driver" tab, and click on "Roll Back Driver" if the option is available.
Reinstall Driver:
- In the "Device Manager," uninstall the touchpad driver, and then restart your laptop. Windows will reinstall the driver automatically.
Gesture Settings:
- Check your touchpad settings. Right-click on the touchpad device in "Device Manager," go to "Properties," and look for a tab related to touchpad settings. Ensure that the two-finger swipe gesture is enabled.
BIOS/UEFI Update:
- Check if there is a BIOS/UEFI update available for your laptop on the HP website. Sometimes, updating the system firmware can resolve hardware-related issues.
Check for Physical Damage:
- Ensure there is no physical damage to the touchpad.
Always ensure that you are downloading drivers or updates from official and reputable sources to avoid potential security risks.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
