It sounds like you're experiencing issues with your laptop's mouse and random freezes. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
- Check for Hardware Issues: Ensure that there is no debris or dirt under the mouse pad or around the mouse buttons. Sometimes, physical obstructions can cause erratic behavior.
- Update Drivers: Make sure that your touchpad drivers are up to date. You can do this by visiting the HP support website or using Windows Update to check for driver updates.
- Adjust Touchpad Settings: Go to your touchpad settings in the Control Panel or Settings app and adjust the sensitivity or disable features like tap-to-click to see if that resolves the issue.
- Run a System Check: Use the Check Disk program to identify and fix any disk errors that may be causing performance issues. You can do this by running
chkdskfrom the command prompt. - Check for Conflicting Software: Sometimes, multiple input devices or software can interfere with each other. Ensure that you have only one input method enabled and consider uninstalling any unnecessary software that could be causing conflicts.
- Perform a Clean Boot: This can help determine if background programs are causing the issue. You can do this by disabling all startup programs and services and then gradually re-enabling them to identify the culprit.
- Restore or Reset Windows: If the issue persists, consider restoring your system to an earlier point when it was functioning properly or resetting Windows to its default state.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be worth contacting HP support for further assistance or considering hardware repairs.
