Removal of HP Support Assistant in the bar of

The HP Support Assistant is preinstalled on my computer laptop touch screen and the icon appears as a big question mark at the bottom right of my screen on my bar tasks.  Therefore, I am constantly bumped the icon when I scroll a window (for example, the browser) using the touch screen ability.

I don't want to uninstall the HP Support Assistant software... I find useful features.  But is it possible that I can get rid of the taskbar icon in the right corner?

I know I can hide the taskbar, or I can move the taskbar to the top or left of the screen, but I'm used to it where it is.  I just want to get rid of the icon.

Thank you!

Ebonite

Hi ebonite,.

To remove the icon from the taskbar:

Open HP Support Assistant, select "Updates and the updates of." Click on "Other settings" at the bottom left, then uncheck the taskbar options in the section "How do you want to be informed?

Have a great weekend!

  • HP15-ac103na: HP Support Assistant on the new laptop

    Hello

    I have a new notebook HP15 running WIndows 10, so I'm new to all this.

    The HP Support Assistant icon appeared in the taskbar with a double exclamation point on it.  When I move the mouse over it, it says "Significant action", but when I click it, there is nothing I can do.  HP Support Assistant window is disabled by a screen of welcome in front of her, and the next in the Welcome screen button is also disabled.  So I can choose my preferences to update etc, but I can't turn them on or go beyond the Welcome screen.

    Is it me, or is there something wrong?

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post about the problem of HP Support Assistant and wanted to help.

    You can try to download the latest version of this page and see if it works: HP Support Assistant. HP® Official Site

    But if that doesn't fix it, why not just let HP repair at our expense!

    You must contact the HP Customer Support directly so they put you in contact with HP Tech Support to see what they can do on the diagnosis and repair of your machine remotely.

    I did recently, and HP technology was able to remotely access my PC on the Internet and to make the necessary repairs.

    If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1

    If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html

  • Pavilion dv1060us: HP SUPPORT ASSISTANT for the XP NOT FUNCTIONING

    Just reinstalled Windows XP Pro. I don't get notifications of HP drivers or updates to the BIOS as before.  How to reactivate the wizard?  I tried the automated on the support site, but it only works with Win7 and beyond.

    It is perhaps because Windows XP is no longer supported by anyone.  If possible, try upgrading to Windows Vista or 7.

    Given that you just re-installed Windows XP, you will not lose a lot of things because you don't have much. I would like to get a new computer, especially if you guessed it with Windows 2000 or XP brand new, I think that the hard drive will not last much longer.

  • HP Photosmart 5520: Delete a message HP Support Assistant

    The symbol of HP Support Assistant in the bar shows constantly spots a yellow triangle with an exclamation point and the tool tip meesage said "action recommended necessary."   Opening of the support Wizard displays the message:

    ' Printers HP - cartridges work with my HP printer?

    I have read the message and clicked on the icon to delete, but the message and the yellow triangle remain stubbornly.  Please tell us how to remove this message once and for all of the support Assistant.   The printer works great!

    Thank you very much

    Dave

    @Dave_V

    @WAWood may be right about the said message tenacious; She might want to stick around, at least for now.

    For other reasons entirely my own installation of HPSA "plugged my trip" with different messages that tend to recur or be replaced by another useful tip.

    It is of my workaround:

    Open HPSA > settings >

    Under Select how you want to receive updates from HP >

    Select check for updates, but let me choose updates to download and install

    Under Select how you want to be informed >

    UNCHECK all the options of notification

    Save

    NOTE:

    • ' Check for updates ' causes the HPSA to indicate when updates are available. the program will not attempt to download updates without your approval
    • Uncheck "all notification options" causes the HPSA down the taskbar

    Windows key > search the list of applications, search and click on HP help and Support >

    Right-click on HP Support Assistant > pine to start

    NOTE:

    • Pine to causes to start the HPSA program becomes available on your start screen
    • To access the HPSA: Windows key > click on HPSA

    Pouf!  No more triangles, constant messages or updates unexpected.

    Reminder:

    • Never, never let the HPSA update your BIOS
    • BIOS updates should be performed only when necessary
    • BIOS updates must be done manually

  • HP Support Assistant - How can I disable start up / remove tray

    Hi, authorized HP Support Assistant to run automatically at startup and to install on the system / boot to the high plateau.  He told me when I was doing what I could disable it at a later date in the settings of the program.  But I can't find it, how to do it please?

    Thank you

    Type msconfig in the search of all the prgorams and files box.

    Click the msconfig icon that appears above to call the system configuration utility.

    Select the Startup tab find the HP Support Assistant in the list and remove the check mark in the box to the left and select OK to make the change take effect the next time you start.

    Once this is done you can always call the program to all programs-> HP-> HP Support Assistant.

  • Need help with the Support Assistant for TouchSmart 310

    I tried to install the latest version of HP Support Assistant manually by searching on the HP customer service and it removed the previous version first. Nothing happened thereafter. I thought it would open HP Support Assistant after agreeing to terms and policies, but he did nothing. When I click on the HP Support Assistant icon, I get "year error occurred" on the very top of the page.  I am not in a position to make changes within the program - everything is gray.

    I tried unistalling tune but I get a message stating: Error 1316 - a network error has occurred trying to read from the file c:\windows\installer\hp support assistant.msi. I tried to look for this file and have not found. I even typed in the search and was not able to find it so I am not able to uninstall it.

    I've had this computer for a year now and have never been able to upgrade to the latest version of HP Support Assistant within the program. I'd get what your computer does not meet the minimum requirements and so I left it alone. The reason why I decided to manually update was because I have problems with the E: drive. And from what I read on HP, to see if I have a hard drive failed, I would need to run tests using HP Support Assistant, but unfortunately, I am not able to do this since I can't access HP Support Assistant.

    I have HP TouchSmart 310-1125f. Windows 7 64-bit.

    Hello

    It is good to hear than the detected "Fixit" and was able to remove the existing installation of HPSA such as what can many fixed some of the problems that can prevent a new version installation correctly.

    First, even if you always have the latest installer HPSA, download it again from the following link and save it in your downloads folder.

    HP Support Assistant.

    One when you're done, open your download folder, click with the right button on the Setup, select Extract 7 - zip, select the files and then click Ok.  Open the new folder sp58919 snippet and see you another installer called Setup - this right click and select new, 7-zip, select extract files and then click Ok.  Open the new installation folder, the installation application ( 4th down with a size of 249KO ) right-click and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.

    Did the full install now and if so, HPSA does work properly?

    Let's not the phone number indicated in HP Support Assistant for the Germany. Under the button 'Contact support' location Germany selected, 'call HP"indicates phone number 01805 65 21 80. This phone number no longer in service.

    The right phone numbers are on http://www8.hp.com/de/de/contact-hp/phone-assist.html and in my case, it would be + 49 69 2999 3434 for support for portable computers.

    The about button / check for the latest version on HP Support Assistant version: 7.0.39.15 (running on the laptop of HP ENVY 15 TS) came back with the result that the latest version is already installed. I noticed that on the page of the driver for my laptop, this 7.3.35.20 Version sp62291.exe is available. Once I had downloaded and installed this new version, support for the Germany phone numbers appear correctly.

  • 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?

    While I was away from my computer this morning installed HP HP network check Helper. When I got home there was a message that I needed to restart the computer. After reboot, I got the same message. After trying several times, I have disabled assistance program using Add-on management, but the message from computer restart guard appearing.

In the HP Setup Manager Wizard, I clicked on help, then launch support assistant and received... the message to reboot. If I open HP help and Support Windows and click "Contact assistance (Get in touch with someone at HP)" I get... the message to reboot.
