HP vs HP Health Check Update

Hello

My HP dv6700, running 64-bit Vista Ultimate SP2 has the HP and pre-installed HP Health Check update time.  I accepted the updated offers for these, running versions are:

Updated HP 4.000.012.001

HP Health Check version 3.1.9.1

These seem to make very similar tasks?  HP update rarely offers updates and currently offers me an update Realtek High Definition Audio System Software, which is obsolete (R1.62).

HP Health Check offered a variety of updates, including an update of the BIOS and update Realtek above R1.85.  It's a bit "chatty", but offers an option for a notification message to reject or to update and never again offer.

Will I lose something useful if I uninstall the update from HP?

Thank you

No, it's the same, but as you have noticed HP Health Check is a little chloe. That's why you get a different version of the software on the two programs.

I'll tell you one more thing for most user, it is not recommended to use.

  • HP Support Assistant will not download updates to date, or all the 'health check '.

    Recently, I noticed that my HP Support Assistant continued to inform me of new updates available. In addition, every time I try and do a manual check for updates through the app, the 'health check' will fail. I have a HP Envy 14, edition Audio Beats. The model number is XG981UA #ABC.

    In addition, I do not know if that changes anything but the most recent update, I downloaded was the most recent version of the ATI Catalyst Control Center (I need the drivers for Battlefield 3).

    Anyone know of a possible solution for the Support Assistant software?

    Hello

    Try the following

    Firstly, uninstall your current version of HP Support Assistant by opening windows control panel, open programs and features, make the entry for HP Support Assistant right click and select uninstall.  Once this process is complete, restart the laptop.

    Then download and install the latest version of HP Support Assistant of the page on the link below - the download links are to the bottom of the page.

  • HP Total Care Health Check does not update all the software needed

    I buy just a dv5-1235 of Best Buy.  I opted against the installation of the Geek Squad so that I could 'get to know' my computer better.  I've burned the recovery disks, then ran HP Total Care 'health check '.  He did update a decent number of programs, but there are still a few updates that I found on the HP support site.  especially for the resident TV MediaSmart update 1a.  I found that in another thread because this would interrupt answer shortly after reboot.

    I'm missing something on the health check.  Should he check the updates on all the stuff "HP" or is this something to check first, then go to the HP site to double check?

    This is my first post in this forum so I used the search function to see if there are similar topics, but I do not see.  Not to say that they aren't there, but after a quick search I do not see.

    So far, my birthday gift for me works MUCH better than my old laptop, a dell since 2001.  :-)

    Advice would be appreciated.

    HP TCA (Total Care Advisor) is bug, use it with caution.  Many of us turned off and check the updates on our own.

  • HP update cannot replace HP Health Check?

    The reason why I ask because the health check tells me to install 3 the same updates, he set up last month.  So I won't use it.

    I want to make sure that HP Update will analyse all updates of specific HP for my laptop.

    Question side: with the HP update, do I need to use Windows Update?

    1 year Pavilion dv6 (NB636AV); Windows Vista Edition Home Premium 64-bit SP2; battery 12 cells; 3 GB OF RAM; Intel Core 2 Duo

    hp health check is unfortunately far from being perfect. It often detects drivers that need to put up-to-date and then installed old drivers, sometimes even older than those identified as being 'too old '.

    Windows Update gives you rarely drivers, but all the critical updates are really critical, when they set security questions and performance inside windows, and there is no one else able to set these except microsoft, via windows/microsoft update (update of microsoft being the cotyledon also providing updates for office and other microsoft - recommended products).

    There are 2 steps to follow in order to stay up to date with drivers when having a hp laptop.

    1 download page check youre laptop (www.hp.com > support & drivers > download drivers and software (and firmware) > type in your model > go > choose your operating system). Here the important updates are bios, quick launch buttons, hp protect tools (for professional laptops), firmwares, audio drivers (unfortunately changed by hp - using the latest almost always requires you to mod those generic for yourself, which is quite complicated) etc.

    2. recognize that hp is too late by offering updates for drivers and get these other places, mainly manufacturers their web sites as intel (chipset, wifi, ethernet, graphics etc drivers). Some drivers offered by HP are best to be avoided completely, as pilots mobile gpu (graphics card). Get the latest from intel, ati or nvidia (get that your gpu is of) and mod them accordingly (http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php for ati, http://www.driverheaven.net/nvmodtool.php for nvidia)

    Some sites on the internet suggest to get rid of this warning by setting these two keys, the default value 0, but they already are.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\AppInit_DLLs HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\AppInit_DLL

    There is nothing in the 'Data' column for these two registry keys. And there is no list of DLLS.  The string in the warning count is 0, so I don't really know what is the cause.

    I searched my drive C: for what any change to the date and time that this warning for the first time. All have been linked to HP Health Check.

    These changes do not come with HP Support Assistant. Was not asked to download and install updates.  These files have been changed without my knowledge.  I did know about this until I picked up everything that has changed which could hold account of the warning I get now.

    Anyone know how to stop this warning event ID 11 registered Wininit whenever I start my computer? Someone else had changes in the HP health check recently?  Has anyone else noticed this warning of Wininit event ID 11 their recent event viewer?

    Old_geekster,

    I know that this is your best advice but I really don't want to go there. Up is simple, get the programs and files on the computer; not so much.  And then there of all the bloatware to get rid again.

    Several sites indicate that this is not a problem, even if there is a list of libraries, as it has to do with the code and can be ignored as long as are listed in the DLL acknowledged regarding confidence of applications.

    At the end of my Wininit he says the warning message string is 0 and it lists all the libraries. One source suggests that it is a false alarm since no DLL is actually loaded.

    I looked for someone who had a warning Wininit where string = 0 and no list. I found this conversation: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/custom-dynamic-link-libraries-are-being-loaded-for/80497a24-1b98-4705-93cc-32d67b5947d1

    On the second page, there is this suggestion of No.Compromise on May 24, 2010:

    "In the registry, change the value from HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\LoadAppInit_DLLs from 1 to 0, restart and check if the event in question is still connected."

    (Also would check if HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\LoadAppInit_DLLs has been set to 1 and if so, change it to 0).

    Note the value to check is LoadAppInit_DLLs of type REG_DWORD, rather than LoadAppInit_DLLs of type REG_SZ. »

    May 25, 2010, he adds:

    "For the moment, it won't affect anything else, if AppInit_Dlls is empty.  LoadAppInit_Dlls is an indicator that tells Windows to "respect" (load the dll in the AppInint_DLLs) the AppInit_DLLs value.

    Older, pre-Vista apps will not know to LoadAppInit_DLLs a value of 1, so the dll they would add to this place could not be loaded.  It can be considered a good thing, because it is a quick way to get the (good and bad) code loaded into the address space of each loaded process user32.dll (practically everything), which deals with the AppInit_DLLs.

    New apps are common sense for LoadAppInit_DLLs setting so they put 1 and also add components to AppInit_DLLs.

    In your case, it seems that some program added DLLS to AppInit_DLLs, LoadAppInit_DLLs set to 1, and then the dll have been removed (manually? program cleaning? uninstall program?) AppInit_DLLs, but LoadAppInit_DLLs was restored to the default of 0 (or not being is not present at all).

    "So, our exploration indicates that Windows based the decision to record the event on"Custom Dynamic Link Libraries loading for all applications"for the LoadAppInit_DLLs parameter, regardless of the content of the AppInit_DLLs value" (it was marked as a solution but the instructions are in the post on May 24, 2010).

    I did this and the warning of Wininit disappeared.

    It worked after I changed HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\LoadAppInit_DLLs, but I went ahead and changed HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\LoadAppInit_DLLs .

    I never changed anything in the registry before; big no no. But this person instructions and reasoning were clear enough even I could understand and it worked.

    Thank you

  • HP health check

    Why HP Health Check brought me here?

    A regular automatic descent of the HP health check generated the message, "HP Health Check identified one or more items requiring action."

    The only item listed has the category "Updates" and the description "visit the HP Support Forum".

    Although the existence of these forums is interesting and can be useful for me in the future, I see no "Updates" here.  Also, I see nothing "response".  What is going on?  If HP wants to provide an informational message informing me of this site, why the category is not listed as "informational".  There is no need to make me think that there is something wrong with my system or my system may be vulnerable.

  • HP Health Check - topic not found

    I have a Pavilion dv7-1105tx. The HP Health Check asked me to run himself, as he usually does, this morning but at the end he identified a problem of maintenance of high priority that should be addressed (balance of health provision).  Unfortunately, this only did me not the possibility of repairing, it gave me the option re-scan where to seek help.  By selecting the help button it took me to Windows Help and Support where I was advised "topic not found".  My question here is where?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    PS I am running windows vista 32-bit if it helps.

    Hello

    Health check asks to update but does not click on repair?

    Looks like you need to update these two files - try these manually and then run again the health scan and see if the problem goes away. Note, you can see a few new items listed with the new library - what is normal.
