My computer have been crashing a lot since I bought it. But when I uninstalled some HP programs now 9 months later, it does not crash as frequent as before. Only like 1-2 times a week instead of more often. No there are 5 programs left. Can I uninstall them too?
The programs are:
HP connection optimizer
HP display control
HP display control service
HP privacy settings
HP system even utility
Can I delete these?
If I delete ”HP privacy settings” will HP still know that I do not agree to all the telemetry **bleep** that it does even though I av unchecked every box, or will it be doing like Windows, meaning that it needs they some processes constantly sending information to Windows servers with information about that the user does not agree of data collection, without that connection, they will harvest data.
There are an other question about HP connection optimizer in an other thread, but the HP dude dit not answer it. 2 answers from him but he was talking about some HP connection manager instead. People was whas wondering why that HP dude was not able to answer correctly untill they got tired of asking him. So I hope that dude will not answer this.
But maybe they are not real support emplyees? They are people with nothing to do during the days?
My previous HP computer did not have any HP programs and that computer had 0 problems and 0 crashes.
This one that was doing serveral diagnostic tests per day have had a lot of problems with crashes. HP support could not find any solutions so a complete reset of the computer is left to do.
Will all HP programs be deleted during a reset maybe. I have never had the need of doing a reinstallation of Windows before. All other computer had worked.
The HP programs are doing stuff all the time. Starting processes, starting cmd with commands, doing diagnostic test, Making connections to servers, controlling if I have installed McAfee so they can have comission. Many of the diagnostic stuff are old Windows commands like dism wirh HP design so people will be fooled believing the program does a lot of new stuff. I dont need Hp for running dism for me. I got 100 alerts per day about HP programs doing suspicious acts like keylogging and making connection.
Tired of HP because of this new computer wirh a lot of bloatware. I wirh they could have delivered a clean slate with no **bleep**ty programs on it.

hi
Yes you can delete everything
but, this can cause the malfunction of some programs
Best of all, you do a full install of windows, and only install the necessary drivers!
Personally, I am not an HP employee
but no, i'm not doing nothing
I bury people who die of Covid right now
