When I press a button in my clickpad, it's stucks in drag mode. I can't release it. It selects everything and occasionaly presses right click multiple times. Using mouse doesn't help. It fixes only when I turn my laptop into a sleep mode.

I found out it's a software issue. I tried to install standard PS/2 driver and it worked fine, but without gestures like 2 finger scroll. But when I use synaptics driver, this issue happens.

I have had my laptop for almost 4 years and it just started giving me issues. It says that is imminent hard drive failure, it been very slow and unresponsive. I have important 3D modeling prodgrams that I need for school, so if there is a way of fixing the issue without loosing them it would be nice. But if not its not the end of the world, i really just need my laptop to working as it should.

 

I have the failure ID if necessary. Just need to know what to do to fix my laptop, thank you

HP Laptop Start Up Issues

$

I have been having issues with my HP since this morning. Note, this laptop has now become my lifeline because I have been using it for a job search since I will end up homeless next month if I do not succeed in my job search. 

 

Now to the issues: 

Upon logging in, it was running slow. It stood on a black blank screen before taking me into log in. 

 

I put my password in, log in and despite password being correct , it takes a little while to log in. But it eventually logs in. 

 

Everything starts up and appears normal. I scroll to the bottom of the task bar to open it and the task bar will not come up despite scrolling across it. Instead, there’s a blue circle loading. It’s not letting me open folders on my desktop and my browser is on the tool bar. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 

 

I hard reset twice with no luck. Upon opening the Task Manager, it will take awhile to open and it will state that it’s unresponsive. I was able to get in however closing the app I was told made no difference either. I’m beyond frustrated to the point of crying since this laptop is my lifeline. I’m exhausting all options. The reason I haven’t had it fixed by a Tech is because I currently don’t have a job so money is tight.

 

Im willing to follow any steps to see if it could possibly work. 

Power Director 14 problem as below

My HP ENVY - 17t-s100 CTO -- laptop came with the Power Director 14 installed that is a more recent version, much later than version 11, which I use regularly at work.

 

Problem –

I have downloaded the latest update off your site a few months ago.

This version 14 does not have the basic features such as the video speed adjustment feature which the 11 does have. None of the “Power Director “ help or help topics work. They won’t open in Adobe reader, despite having it installed on the computer.

Could you please update this version to the version 14 that has all the basic features it should have?

Many thanks for all your assistance.

Brand New Spectre360 lagging and/or freezing on day 1

I've seen this issue across searches and hp support. I purchased my laptop just this morning brand new.. I went through the prompts to setup my computer and before I could even start downloading my normal apps and preferences I noticed the unit was lagging / freezing.

 

To be more specific... browsing in Edge... the cursor froze on multiple places and wouldn't respond for a few seconds.. up to 30 seconds at times.. One example was clicking on browser URL to type a website.. the computer showed a cursor then was non-responsive. I couldn't change screens or do anything until it wanted to respond.

 

When I finally got to downloading Microsoft Office and another [safe] application both instances froze and were not moving in progress for nearly 5 minutes despite no other memory demands and 16gb of RAM. I tried to use ctrl+alt+del to view memory usage but that feature is no longer there. I tried to search in cortana for memory usage.. and it will show me allocated and available memory but no clear way to view real-time demand or performance.

 

I've also noticed a few "glitches" during installation .... Or that when I'm switching to tablet mode etc or the system logs out from closing...  it seems to close out my currently running programs or downloads and I have to reinitiate or start over.

Problems with number of things in a BRAND NEW HP Laptop

Purchased my laptop a month ago and these are the list of issues I am facing since last month:

When I play games, sometimes, windows key gets stuck, because of this, whichever key I press windows think that it is pressed with windows key. Searched a almost all the sites and non of them have a definitive answer. This problem occurs weather I play with my external keyboard or not. Also my drivers are up to date.

100% Disk usage: When I boot up my laptop, and then try to open task manager (yes, TRY), Disk usage is always 100%. Disabled Superfetch, but that also didn't fixed my problem. after like 10-15 minutes, disk usage begins to come down and then stays at 1-10%

3. Slow boot up: As I mentioned earlier, my laptop is new , I have to do a number of crucial updates for the first few weeks, (just updated to 1803 a couple of days back), but because of that also, it didn't solved my problem. when I press my power button, hp logo comes, and then there is a black screen for a almost 2 minutes, then eventually log in screen comes, I enter my pin, and then my desktop shows with all the icons in white, and then finally all the icons come in their real shape. This happens to me almost everyday, and according to me this happens because of 100% disk usage.

Anti-malware service executable: In task manger, this process shows up almost everyday and is one of the reasons of 100% disk usage. This along with process called "system".

And finally the last problem (up till now) is that when I play games, it lags terribly on battery but not when plugged in.

Again, my laptop is new, all the drivers are updated, updated to windows 1803 a couple of days back.

I have searched endless web pages, spent countless hours on them, all this for searching a definitive answer to all these problems. I will appreciate all the helps I can receive from here.

Ignore any typos, if any :-)

Keuboard Light changing

Hello everyone, I've got an OMEN laptop and I'm not sure if it can change the keyboard's color. Usually, the default color is red except for the WASD which is white. I installed OMEN HP Control app and went to the lighting tab, I tried to change the color but it didn't work/ Even though some controls such as fan speed worked and the caps lock switch. I think my laptop isn't supported (shipped) by RGB color mode, don't you?
