Welcome to HP support community.

 

Could you please explain more about the issue?

Are you referring to touch pad double tapping issue?

  2. Click Change your mouse settings.

  3. Click Additional mouse options.

I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).

If you are unfamiliar with how the Community's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

Thank you for visiting the HP Support Community.
