Note: you’ll need an external mouse to go through with some of these tips.

Method 1. Re-Enable Your Touchpad Using the “Fn” Key

Sometimes this issue can arise due to touchpad being disabled and this can happen by mistake, hence it’s always a good idea to verify that this is not the case here.

While holding the Fn key, press every function button (the “F” keys) with a symbol on it that looks like it could be your touchpad to check if it switches back on (For example in my HP laptop the combination is Fn + F5).

Method 2. Enable the Touchpad service for your laptop

If the Touchpad is turned off, your HP laptop Touchpad stops working. Hence, we would recommend you check and make sure the touchpad is enabled. Here are the steps to turn on Touchpad in your HP laptop:

1. Click on Start menu , select Settings in the popup menu.

2. Select Devices.

3. Go to Mouse and touchpad, then click Additional mouse options.

4. Go to the Touchpad tab (or Device settings tab or Hardware tab), and make sure your Touchpad is turned on.

Method 3. Update the Touchpad driver

Many users reported that the problem stemmed from the serial IO drivers (that allow the laptop to communicate with external devices, including the touchpad), which were out of date. So you can download and install the latest IO drivers to fix the problem. Here are the steps:

1. To begin, visit the HP driver packs page: https://ftp.hp.com/pub/caps-softpaq/cmit/HP_Driverpack_Matrix_x64.html

Note: The drivers also need to match up with your Windows version (1909, 2004, etc.)

3. Once you’ve found the driver pack you need, download and install it on your laptop.

4. Restart your laptop to save the changes.
