HP Envy m6 Notebook - How to Turn On Touchscreen?

I just bought an HP Envy TouchSmart Notebook yesterday and I can't figure out how to get the touchscreen to work. The touchpad works fine, but touching the screen does nothing. The box says that it's the m6-n010dx model.

Hi , Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand that your Touch Screen is not working on your new HP Envy TouchSmart Notebook. I will try my best to help you with this. The Touch screen should be on by default. But, just in case it was disabled inadvertently, try the steps in this document for Troubleshooting Touch Screen Issues in Windows 8. You can also try these steps to make sure that the Touch screen is enabled.1. Press the Windows logo key + X.
2. Select Device Manager from the list.
3. Click the little arrow next to Human Interface Devices to expand the list.
4. Click the touch screen driver (in my case, NextWindow Voltron Touch Screen).
5. Right-click, and select Enable from the list. If this does not work, then to better guide you, could you please tell me the full model or product number of your computer and the operating system that is running on it. Here are some guides for How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? and Which Windows operating system am I running?. I hope this information helps, please let me know how it goes. Best of luck and have a great day!

How do I disable the Symantics TouchPad on my HP Envy 14t notebook?

I have tried to modify the sensitivity of the touchpad on my laptop, but it's still so touchy it's driving me crazy. The other issues I looked at here in the Community forum don't pertain to the machine or utilities I have.
I want to COMPLETELY DISABLE it and use a plug-in mouse. Where is the option to disable the touchpad?
I have uninstalled the Symantic TouchPad driver, but the touchpad still shows up as a device as "PS/2 Compatible Mouse." When I open its Mouse Properties dialog, on the Driver tab, the Disable button is grayed out.
How do I COMPELTELY DISABLE the touchpad and just use a plug-in mouse on the HP Envy 14t notebook?

@kiltinshire,
Thanks for posting back.  As you may be aware there are multiple versions of HP notebooks, most control functions are found in the user guide.  If you can not find it there then you would have to go to how to disable hard ware in windows.  That is a microsoft topic.
You normally have 2 choices to physically shut it off.  First the touchpad has a little button in a corner depending on model.  Use a function key it will have a diagram of a square and a finger.  These methods have been used for years for turning your touchpad off. 
Next is just google how to turn off touchpad in windows 8.  Here is a couple links that you may find useful that I found using that search.
TouchPad and Keyboard
How to Enable and Disable Touch Pad on HP ENVY
Disable Laptop Touchpad in Windows 8 / 7
How to disable laptop touch pad in windows 8
Now if you are actually trying to find a way of permanently shutting off the touchpad so that it does not come on again you will have to dig into Windows help for that. If Windows sees the hardware at start up it will by default try and load the base driver for it and most likely turn it on when you reboot.
The only other way is to open up your notebook and disconnect the cable that goes from the touch pad to the motherboard so that does not happen.
I am hoping that helps.

HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC Cannot Install Cyberlink PowerDirector on Fresh Install Windows 8.1

HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC
Product number: F5D54EA#ABU
Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
I replaced the original system drive with a SSD, fresh install of wndows 8.1 (not recovery disk), now I canot install Cyberlink PowerDirector downloaded from HP sp69386. During installation it fails with "This is not a valid HP drive, Setup will now abort" It obviously requires something to be available on the drive but I don't know what.
PowerDVD will install just fine.
Please don't mention a Recovery Install it's taken too long to arrive at this stage.
The question is what is the software looking for during installation to satisfy itself that this is a genuine HP laptop and can I replicate that on the SSD.

Hi @Darren104
Welcome to the HP Support Community. I saw your post regarding the problem installing the Cyberlink PowerDirector software. As the PowerDirector software is DVD software I can't see how a new SSD would cause the “not a valid HP driver” if you had changed out your optical drive then maybe. I would recommend that you give us a call at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or start here if you live outside of North America.

Resored envy dv6 notebook and windows 8 won't load i dont have the discs

I bought an HP envy dv6 notebook used with Windows 8. The person I bought it from did not remove her password or fingerprint scan, I was unable to reach them (i bought it out of state). I did some research and found the best thing to do was a complete system restore - which i followed the directions and did. I do not have the original driver disc.
I am now in a contant loop where it comes up with the first password which I successfully changed but would like to remove. When it starts to load the administrator it goes into a constant loop of Windows did not load properly. Restart the computer. And I fo around and around, I have tried everything I have found on here and many other sires and still I am unable to get it to work.
I have a Windows 7 disc but I am afraid to even try it since I was told that the reset to factory settings would work and it doesn't I do not want to do anymore damage.
I did notice that the born on date say 00/00/0000 I am not sure if that is part of the problem or not

HP Envy M4 won't start turn on

My HP Envy M4 1115dx won't turn on. It turns on but immediately turns off. It will start up if the cover is closed, but once the laptop is opened, it turns off. Cannot run diagnostics, do a hard rest, etc. since the computer will not turn on. Operating system is windows 8. Has anyone else had this problem?

HP envy 17 notebook pc 17-j166no

Hi. I got this big problem when I start my laptop. It's looping "preparing automatic repare" and "diagnosing your pc". I have tried to hold down "f11" and the "powerbutton" at the same time. But that didn't solve it. It just keeps running in the loop. I don't know what else to do.

HP ENVY m6 Notebook PC trackpad issue even after HP repair

2 weeks ago i sent my HP ENVY m6 Notebook to the HP Repair center because i was having major issues with the trackpad. It would not move fluidly,and click, and move on its own.
I received my laptop back today anticipating that everything would work perfectly but some of these same issues are still occuring. The touchpad and the cable that connects it were both replace and the laptop was wiped clean.
The toucpad will work for sometime then all of a sudden become glitchy. This is really effecting my usage of the computer. It is a huge inconvenience to pay for a laptop and have a major component malfunctioning. I'm currently using a wireless mouse again.
Since the hardware was replace is there a software problem. This sems to be occuring to so many people.
What is going on?

When I open iTunes it will automatically go to full screen mode. I can't work out how to turn this off. Only iTunes opens to full screen mode.

When I open iTunes it will automatically go to full screen mode. I can't work out how to turn this off. Only iTunes opens to full screen mode.

Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar). Choose "General". Click "Always close windows when quitting an application".
That should fix it.

Just disable it -

Next time you start your computer no more annoying pop ups. If you want to be annoyed again you can always re-enable it.

I simply want to know how to turn off iCloud* without losing my contacts

Call me old fashioned, but I really do NOT want to use iCloud EXCEPT for ONE THING*: and that's to find my phone, ipad or laptop if it goes missing.
Having said that, I have figured out how to turn off icloud on my ipad and my iphone (I am not using the phone as a phone, just as a glorified ipod) while keeping the "find my ipad/iphone" function active, BUT
I can't quite figure out how to do it on my laptop.
I seem to have done it already for photos, and for the calendar, (I know this from checking iCloud to see what it's got) but just cannot figure out how to turn it off for contacts.
And YES, I've backed up all of those things at LEAST 3 different ways, I just don't want the Cloud to be one of them.
So can anyone tell me how to turn off contacts in the cloud without it also magically deleting them in my laptop? (I had it happen on the ipad, that's why I'm worried.)
Thank you for understanding-I'm older and this stuff just keeps getting more complicated and I'm a simple person. I'll back up my own stuff!

If you are refering to documents such as Pages and Numbers files....
The only way around this is to "save as" you icloud documents using the associated app to a local folder on your mac. Then turn off icloud.
Of course, when you sign off of icloud, the docs are removed from the mac, but remain in icloud. In the future when you sign back in, the documents are available to you again.
Oh, and the icloud documents are also stored locally in ...
~/Library/Mobile Documents
Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
You can move these files to another folder to save them.
