Windows 10: Help! My laptop mouse and trackpad are giving me a tough time

My mouse moves across the screen even when I do not touch it. My trackpad left and right buttons do not work I've tried to see if it was enabled and it was, I've done troubleshooting and updated the drives and still the same problem persists I've tried all the advice I've seen online but both problems still continue. When troubleshooting and checking device manager it says the best drives are already installed

Separate profiles for mouse and trackpad possible?

Apparently after a recent update, I don't seem to be able to keep separate profiles for mouse and trackpad on my HP Spectre 360. Even though I'm a lefty, I've always scrolled the trackpad with my right hand and used my left on the button. This is opposite of how I use the mouse (right button being primary). I used to be able to switch the mouse and leave the trackpad in the normal orientation, but no longer. Switching the mouse buttons automatically switches the trackpad too. It's irritating to have to switch the buttons every time I plug into or unplug from my USBC hub/monitor. I've attached a pic that similar to the old mouse setting screen that seems to have gone away, as well as what I currently see. Any suggestions?

 

Odd Trackpad Behaviour

Windows 10 ver 20H2. SONY VAIO laptop with Samsung 860 SSD, 4GB RAM.

Initially, the laptop worked fine. Recently an odd problem has surfaced.

I prefer to use a wireless mouse (Logitech V450 Nano) which behaves as expected. However, the laptop's own trackpad is (for want of a better word) is 'inverted'.

To explain: Move finger UP the trackpad (towards the keyboard) and the cursor moves DOWN. Move your finger RIGHT on the trackpad and the cursor moves LEFT.

Searches suggest changing some settings under Trackpad in Device Manager, however, looking in Device Manager there is no entry for Trackpad - only two entries for mouse: HID-compliant Mouse and PS/2 Compatible Mouse.

There are 3 possible trackpad entries in Human Interface Devices:
HID-compliant consumer control device
HID-compliant vendor-defined device
HID-compliant vendor-defined device
but delving into the properties of each, none seems to be for the trackpad.





In Settings > Devices there is no entry in Trackpad for inverting the trackpad





So, I'm rather stumped.

Any help gratefully received.
