Support Assistant: what is the ' task to resign the ghost? "

I was in the Task Scheduler and seen this task "Ghost resign Task" which runs every hour. What is it?

Hello

Thank you for this informtion.

This more with a colleague, that would cause by another process on the computer (I would not be able to say that, without looking at the computer).

To compare, when there is something in the Windows registry that has no value and is usually represented with 0, we who would call a "ghost key" in the registry. What you see is essentially the same, but a "ghost task." It does nothing useful or harmful to the computer, to the extent that I could find.

You can try to follow the process, though, as it should appear in the Manager of tasks under the "processes" as "ghost resign task" (or something similar), if you see that and do a right click on it then choose "instead of opening the file", this will take you to the specific file that is causing the task to run. From here, you can choose to let the task or terminate, this depend on the program by running it.

I hope in a way that makes sense and provides you with the information you're looking for.

Thanks for your reply.

  • HP Support Assistant Scan froze the computer

    HP Pavilion model 55710f; Windows 7.  The HP Support Assistant scan started and was still scanning after four hours, even if the information box said that everything was OK on my computer.  Early on, the computer froze once and the clock gadget on my desktop has stopped working.   He then thawed, but the clock didn't work.  I checked it four hours later, and it was still scanning.  I tried to stop, and he froze with nothing else than the blue screen of Windows display. I finally unplugged/replugged the computer and, so far, is fine.  What has gone wrong?  Thank you.

    Hello mamassey,

    I'd love to be able to tell you with complete certainty what happened, but we probably won't. The fact is sometimes programs everything works perfectly and cause errors and glitch.

    If the problem continues to happen as every time that you run the Support assistant it freezes and causes issues, then we have a problem, now that we have just a random appearance of a program of 100% working perfectly.

  • HP 6700 Assistant what function the printer option? Looking for a help file.

    I just istalled an Office jet 6700, one of the shortcuts on my desktop is labeled HP Officejet 6700.

    When I click it I get four options, HP Printer Wizard, set preferences, see what's printing and customize your printer.

    Outside the HP printer assistant, they do what they say.

    I click the button Wizard from the printer and nothing happens, but I think I need the Printer Wizard to access the help file.

    My Panel said aid has been loaded, but I can't seem to find it.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the device three times now.

    One of the ideas please?

    Hi George,.

    Open start > programs > HP > HP Officejet 6700 and follow the Uninstall option.

    Then install the latest version below, be sure not to use the original CD that include older software:

  • What does mean "color mode not supported"? What is the best software to fix this problem?

    I have pictures on my card in the form of CR2 files and tries to load to the first version of Lightroom.

    What drivers or software would I need to do this smoothly?

    Thank you

    You really have version 1? Awesome.

    Probably, you will need to download the latest version of the Adobe's DNG Converter for free and convert your CR2 to DNG files and import the DNG.

    On the other hand, there was a ton of improvements to Lightroom since version 1.0 (it is now about 6.3), and you'd be probably happier with the latest version. An upgrade would cost you $79 US, or you can subscribe and get LR and Photoshop for $10 per month. Your choice.

    Hello.  I had a Pavilion P6330f Win 7/64-bit.

    I ran a tune-up today with the HP support Assistant.  During the tune-up, he showed "Point of restoration Set - Fail. After the tune-up, he showed "so waiting for Action, computer to date." I then ran an automated diagnosis and analysis the problems of health. All the past.

    What could be the reason for the failure to set Restore Point?  I'm a little worried about it.  Is there anything I should do?

    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.

    I used the Feedback button in the HP Support Assistant to report the problem on the wrong telephone number.

    Mike

    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.
