Inspired by a tweet by @gokulr, I tried continuing the chat a bit further. The first two questions are similar to the ones by him.

FIX - Touchpad issue on HP Pavilion x360 convertible 14 with Windows 11
My HP Pavilion x360 laptop with Windows 11 had a nasty touchpad issue last week. The touchpad stopped working suddenly after the laptop was unlocked or came out of hibernation. It worked when OS was restarted, but soon thereafter it kept on getting disabled. Even the Bluetooth and other devices -> Touchpad option was gone. There was no Touchpad enabling option anywhere in the system. Had to use the touchscreen for navigation as the pointer/cursor also vanished when this used to happen. Searched all over the web with no solution... until today.
Found a fix that seems to be working with no vanishing touchpad issues anymore. It is simple on this system.
Go to device manager -> Human Interface Devices
Among the two I2C drivers, one icon was showing issue. Tried disabling and enabling using right click ...but it didn't solve the issue. Then uninstalled that driver and rebooted. It gets reinstalled on reboot, and the annoying issue is finally resolved.
If the above process does not work, then try this:
First disable I2C HID Device, then Disable HP-compliant system controller, then enable I2C HID Device. It works for me! 🙌
