Pressure clicking on trackpad disables it until sleep cycling

[Nate-Dogg]

Starting from any time I wake up my computer from sleep or restart it, the trackpad functions completely normally as long as I don't use the push/click to left-click. I can tap to click without actually depressing the button indefinitely with no problems, but as soon as I depress the trackpad to click, I get these problems:

The mouse is either always clicking or inversely clicking until the trackpad gets disabled completely a minute or so later
The trackpad completely stops working nearly immediately and I have to use a USB mouse or the touch screen

The depress to click exhibits the first behavior, then stops working, with tap to click still working normally until stopping to work entirely less than a minute later

This happened after the October update, and I'd like to revert back to before the update, but I thought it'd be a good idea to alert HP and be able to use my laptop on the most recent windows update  first. 
I've updated the trackpad drivers, uninstalled and updated, updated directly from HP, etc, and nothing has changed the behavior. 
Edit: The scrolling is also off, scrolling several lines sometimes and not others, as if its going back and forth between normal and extreme sensitivity. This doesn't happen in all applications, though.
