Example: Pavilion 6-2016

I have a Pavilion 6-2016 desktop pc.  When I blocked my "hp" app icon blocked. I am the administrator but don't know how to change it back.

Hello Mr. Wood,

 

Thank you for your interest in assisting me.  The photo below is what happens when I click on the hp icon on my application panel.  I blocked it because I didn't understand what was happening.

That is an app that is used by HP to install software and drivers -- you should not block it.
