I recently purchased an HP ENVY 360 Laptop and apparently there is an installed application (via HP) called FlexNet that supposedly reviews your system for application updates and keeps the system current. The system is continually piling up errors throughout the day like this one....
FLEXNET CONNECT CLIENT.... Generic Communications Error.... An HTTP error was returned from the Server.... response code said Error (500)
I will get up to 10 or more of these error windows accumulate on my screen at any time.
I have followed suggestions to install a Software Manager and using the companies deletion procedure to no avail.
Does anyone else have this issue - any suggestions?
Thanks, Scott

The FlexNet Connect is mainly for virtual connections (VPN). If you do not use or need that option you can just uninstall it. Here are some links that should be informative.:

HI @Ajeitesh1,
Welcome to the HP Forum! 🙂 It is a terrific place to find answers and tips! For you to have the best experience on the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide. First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. First, I would like to clarify if you have a 16-ac024TX or a 15-ac024TX.
I grasp that you are only able to connect to your wireless network when you are in the same room as the router and now your wireless icon has disappeared. Please try the steps outlined in this post by @Great-Deku Tree. Common fixes for wireless connectivity issues
