Keep getting the following notification: Critical Update Needed to use HP Display Control
I follow the instructions and believe I complete the download and installation. However, three to five days later, I get a new msg. In Aug 2022 I received the following update: HPDC_Service_4.8.67.0
The latest update I have received two days ago (11 Nov 2023) is: HPDC_Service_4.8.67.0 (70)
If I understand this update correctly, this is the 70th attempt to complete this update. My previously successful update was:
HPDC_Service_4.6.44.0
The next update was: HPDC_Service_4.8.67.0
Any assistance/guidance provided would be greatly appreciated.
