@DA19 Welcome to HP Community!
I understand that HP support assistance is slow working.
Do not worry. I will try to help you in this regard.
HP Support Assistant is useful app but is not mandatory for your PC. If it causes you issues, you can safely uninstall it.
Click on Start, type control.exe
Open Control Panel > Programs and features
Find HP Support Assistant and uninstall it
Find HP Support framework and uninstall it
Restart the PC
You can attempt to manually download the latest drivers from HP >> https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers
and install them one by one manually
Alternatively, rely on Windows Updates and Device Manager >> http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03330139
With Windows 10 (and 8.1) you can be sure that Windows will automatically download and install important and security driver updates.
