Hi @Banshee3505,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to assist you.

I understand you're experiencing an issue with turning off a feature on your HP laptop.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, I'm here to help you today.

Here’s how to disable it:

Steps to Disable the "Too Close to Screen" Warning:

Open the HP Eye Health or Distance Detection Application:

• Look for an app related to "Eye Health," "Wellness," or "Distance Detection" in your installed programs. It may have an HP-branded name.

Adjust Settings in the Application:

• Launch the application and navigate to the settings menu.
• Look for options like "Proximity Alerts," "Distance Alerts," or similar.
• Toggle the feature off or adjust the sensitivity to avoid frequent warnings.

Check the System Tray:

• Look for an icon in the system tray (near the clock on the taskbar) related to HP Eye Health or a similar feature.
• Right-click on it and see if you can disable the feature directly from the context menu.

Disable the Sensor:

• If no option is found in software, you might need to disable the hardware sensor used for distance detection.
  • Device Manager:
    • Right-click the Start button and select Device Manager.
    • Look for a category related to sensors (e.g., "Imaging Devices" or "Sensors").
    • Identify the relevant device (likely named something related to proximity or wellness sensors).
    • Right-click the device and choose Disable (not uninstall, in case you want to re-enable it later).

Uninstall the Software (if needed):

• If the warnings persist and you don't use the feature, you can uninstall the associated software.
  • Open Control Panel > Programs and Features (or Apps in Windows 11 settings).
  • Locate the relevant application and uninstall it.

Please mark this post as “Accepted Solution” if the issue is resolved and if you feel this reply was helpful click “Yes”.

 

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a great day ahead!
