Do not understand a pop-up message

[Steve111957]

This message displays whenever I start my device: don't understand why, or what it means, or what action I should take.  

c:/programfiles/windowsapps/portraitdisplays.hpdisplaycontrol_4.1.36.0_x64_2dgm.../startuptask.exe

Element not found

Any advice appreciated.  Thanks!

@Steve111957 Greetings from the HP Community!

That's an error that seems to be related to the Windows applications and here's the best way to resolve the issue with the same:

• Open Start, type: CMD
• Right click CMD
• Click Run as administrator

Type in at the prompt OR Copy and Paste these one at a time : (Hit enter after each)

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Also run the System File Checker utility:

• Open Start, type: CMD
• Right click CMD
• Click Run as administrator
• At the Command Prompt, type: sfc/scannow
• This will check for any integrity violations
• Restart your system

Check your hard disk for any errors:

• Click Start
• Type: CMD, from the results, right click Command prompt
• Click 'Run as Administrator'
• At the Command Prompt, type: chkdsk /r /f
• Hit Enter
• When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and attempts will be made to correct them.
