Uninstalling HP protect Tools Security Manager

I don't think that anyone from MS really knows how to uninstall HP protect tools. All post are just all over the place. The question is simple how to uninstall HP security protect the tools from a Windows 7 computer. HP support is no help I'm beginning to think that I'll never be able to upgrade to Win 10. Last HP computer I never buy, for many of the unwanted software installed at the factory which is almost impossible to uninstall. If someone really knows how to get this junk on my computer please help. Can you be blessed forever

Hi Hoady,

Please check with the ch if there is no registry associated with the location in the registry:

  1. Press the Windows key + R on the keyboard.
  2. Type Regedit into the run window
  3. Go to this site : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HP and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\HP

Reference: How to manually remove programs from the Add/Remove Programs list

If this isn't the case, please try to clean install Windows 10 as suggested by Greg Carmack.

Let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help you.

  • Password entered with the fingerprints - HP protect tool/Password Manager

    Hi all!

    I use HP protect tools and Password Manager and password authentication Windows and fingerprint authentication. I have problems with fingerprint authentication.

The password is entered if I click on the Password Manager icon select fill in the data of logon and authentication with my Windows password. It never came with my fingerprint authentication (even if I get a green check mark on the icon so nect I drag my fingerprints).

    In order to install Windows 10 I remove HP ProtectTools Security Manager, because it is not compatible with Windows 10.  But find it me impossible to uninstall the Security Manager.  When I want to uninstall it I get the message, this software is not supported on this system.

    Hey @scooter6,

    Thanks for the additional information. You will need to disable the HP ProtectTools Security Manager. Click Start programs. Select HP protect Tools Security Manager in the programs list.
    Go into settings. Select the check box to the left of the menu. The green check mark in the box should be removed. The program is disabled. Close the window and restart the computer. Then try to uninstall.

    Please let me know how it works.

    Thank you.

  • Removal/Uninstall HP ProtectTools Security Manager

    Greetings!

    I try to install the Windows 10 Technical Preview this afternoon on my laptop Windows 7 HP and I am being asked by Microsoft Windows, while trying to install the Technical Preview, to eliminate completely all HPPTSM applications.

    Now, my problem is that I can't find how to uninstall them. If you could provide these instructions which would be most apprecitaed.

    Kind regards
    -Shway

    Greetings to all who may see this. I found a way to remove HP protection tools and Manager. Here's how I did it...

    (1) - went to the page drivers HP for my model and downloaded all of the software tools listed protection. By running these applications, we gave me the prompt to 'fix' / 'Delete' of course, I chose delete.

    (2) a question arose where one of the installers did not give this promot and the software on my laptop was obsolete and the applications listed on the site of drivers were more recent than my software. In these cases, I've updated the software via HP SoftPaq (I'm not install versions side by side, SoftPaq will update the current version on your computer for you) and here is updated once the applications have been listed in Add/Remove programs.

    ----

    NOTE FOR HP: UPDATING YOUR DRIVERS DOWNLOAD PAGE! I NEED UPDATE OF HPPTSM v8. THIS WOULD HAPPEN SO I COULD UPDATE MY WE CompuTrace REQUEST HE moved v7 (and so IT WOULD SHOW UP IN THE ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS)

    ---

    Hope this helps the next person!

    Kind regards

    Hello @ARCHICLAY,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums, I would like to draw your attention to the HP Forums Guide first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I came across your post on the HP protect Tools Manager and wanted to help!

    For starters, can you provide me with the product number of the laptop?  Here is a link that you can use that will help you find your model and product number:

    How can I find my model number or product number?

    From my understanding, that the software is used similar to security software.  So, for this purpose, if the software is running, the laptop is not able to upgrade to Windows 10.  You can try to reinstall the software later.  If you are not satisfied with the upgrade of Windows 10, you can use back to a previous generation option, in your control panel:

    HP Notebook PC - upgrade to Windows 10

    This operation takes back you to your original operating system.  Remember that this option is available only for 28 days after the installation of Windows 10.

    Please let me know if this information helps you solve the problem by marking this message as 'accept as Solution' , this will help others easily find the information they seek.  In addition, by clicking on the Thumbs up below is a great way to say thank you!

    Hello!
    Thanks for posting in the HP support forum!

    8.1 Microsoft Windows (although very good and big update ) is still in BETA (testing) phase and is not officially supported.

    Windows has features upgrade analysis and that it has detected that HP ProtectTools are not (yet) compatible with the new operating system (new update) - still in test.

    Note that this OS is still in beta and may contain bugs. In addition, he brings a few changes that any other 3rd party suppliers must take into account and it will take a while until the program is compatible.

    I recommend - if you want to test the new operating system, install fresh on another computer to test (processing Edition), not a production machine. Otherwise, for your laptops of business - use only the final versions of the software (such as Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8).

    Let me know if I can help you further!
