Touchpad works but after I get it where I want it, I hit enter and nothing happens?

The HP TouchPad may not respond after pressing Enter due to several possible reasons:

1. TouchPad Disabled – The touchpad might have been accidentally turned off. Some HP laptops allow enabling or disabling the touchpad by double-tapping the top-left corner of the touchpad.

2. Driver Issues – If the touchpad driver is missing or corrupted, it may not function properly. The device may show a warning in the Device Manager, such as an orange exclamation mark.

3. Windows Settings – The touchpad settings may not be visible or configured incorrectly in Windows settings.

4. Hardware Malfunction – If the touchpad is not detected at all, there could be a hardware issue.

To resolve this issue, try enabling the touchpad, updating or reinstalling the driver, and checking Windows settings. If the problem persists, hardware failure may be the cause.
