Note the comment on the page to set a Restore Point before trying any of these drivers.
If that is not the same for your BIOS settings, or if it does not work, you could try using touchpad drivers from Synaptic site: Once you have that, follow the instructions in the link: Īfter that, what some folks have reported is that, by going into the BIOS settings, under the Main tab, by changing the Advanced setting to Basic, their functionality returned. To do this, you will need to use the link to download Win10 installation media and either burn a DVD or create a USB stick:
This is the least destructive of all the Windows recovery functions and rewrites the Windows system files, leaving your data, settings, and applications intact. If that doesn't work, an alternative is something known as a Repair-Install. You do this by going into Device Manager, seeing if the WiFi adapter is still listed, and if so, trying to rollback the last driver update.Īnd if that fixes the problem, then consider disabling future driver updates using the information in the link: So, iff you can, you should see if you can rollback the drivers that are causing the problem. If you see any that include device drivers, those could be the problem.
Then, choose Advanced Options -> History to see when updates were last applied. You need to go into Settings, Update & Secirity -> Windows Update. Unfortunately, Win10 automatically forces driver updates on all of us, without our knowledge, and without our permission - and when this happens, a working PC is suddenly "broken". I read your post about sudden touchpad problems in Win10 and wanted to help. Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!
