I recently purchased a HP Elitebook 8460p which came with window 7 pre-installed onto it. I upgraded to windows 10 and for the first few days there were no problems then all of a sudden the touch-pad started having issues.
So upon start up it works fine then after a random amount of time (usually between 5-mins) I can still move the mouse cursor but right click stops working and I am unable to open any icons around the edge of the screen e.g. Google chrome tabs, program short cuts, notifications menu. In this situation the first thing I tried was opening task manager via the keyboard short-cut but with it open I am unable to select any processes.
When I plug an external mouse it it works with minor bugs (a similar thing happens as with the touch pad but if I right click then left click it seems to allow me to access the icons and tabs etc.).
I looked around for solutions and have tried:
Reset via windows recovery
Downgrade to earlier win 10 version
Romplete reinstall of windows 10 from usb boot drive
Un-install of synaptic driver (though even with the setting changed to not update it still does)
Running some sort of app fix in power-shell with admin privileges ( Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"} )
Thanks for reading and I would really appreciate some help with this as I have essays to write and its really distracting aha.
