Hi

Can't find any details on this update.

I would avoid this optional update and any other HP Firmware update if they are offered by Windows Update.

It is best to check your HP PC's Support site for BIOS, component, or other driver updates.

if you go to msconfig and services tab you will have several hp sotware running, well it's a software component  for a driver that is for hp applications such as the hp support assistant etc, other than that HP does not say exactly each of this update. but they have been installing for decades, as you will see in this 32 page list in link below of this update of the same name, nothing to be concerned about ,you can ignore it if optional, it will install auto when needed,  its more for keeping your system compatible with the current windows updates and features, Microsoft Update Catalog

hi

@BruceSabo Basically what I have already explained here

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Software-and-How-To-Questions/HP-Inc-SoftwareComponent-1-50-32...

most of these updates will not be found directly on the hp site

I have already wondered, to whom could we report to give more information of what it contains exactly?
probably microsoft, but will this be considered if just a handful of hp users...

replying because you mentioned to ask microsoft , microsoft does not write drivers, they are provided by the manufacture to Microsoft , so hp in this case, problem is even their tech support has no clue as to whats going on, so hp engineers are the only ones who know exactly what these updates to exactly ,

Sorry, but first of all that's not exactly what I'm saying..
and then, microsoft, delivers updates via its windows update service, so whatever, they should be able to give a description of the said update they offer!
They still can't provide updates without having absolutely no information, and if so, not hard to find out, it works well with
microsoftstore!
