Touchpad does not work on HP Pavilion 13 x360 PC

[suhaib9898]

Hi, my touchpad has started to behave strangely. It works when I open the PC for the first time, but if I close the lid so it slums (which I often do at school) it does not work anymore. Someone who can help?

Thank you for joining HP Forums.

I'll be glad to help you 🙂

As I understand, the touchpad does not work after you resume from sleep mode,

No worries, as I'll be glad to help you, that said, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern & provide an accurate solution:

What is the product number?

When was the last time it worked fine?

Were there any hardware/software changes made? 

Let's try these steps to resolve the issue: 

Enable the Touchpad or ClickPad

On some touchpads you can turn on or off the TouchPad by double tapping in the upper left corner of the TouchPad. Double tap to turn the TouchPad on, repeat to turn the TouchPad off.

If you can't enable the touchpad by double tapping in the upper left corner, you can try enabling it from within Windows using the following steps.

1. Search Windows for 'mouse button', then click the Mouse or Change mouse settings Control Panel setting in the results.
2. Click the Device Settings or the ClickPad Settings tab of Mouse Properties. If you have a Synaptics device, the tab includes the Synaptics icon  and might vary from the graphic.

   Figure: Device Settings

   

3. Select the desired touchpad under the Devices list, and then click Enable to turn on the device.

   NOTE: If you wish to turn off TouchPad, click Disable.
