Hi @yu-gi-oh,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I request you to remove and re-add the program.
Use Windows Uninstall Feature:
- Open the Windows Start menu.
- Type "Add or Remove Programs" and select it from the search results.
- Scroll down the list of installed programs to find "HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI – v10.1.0.0."
- Click on it and select "Uninstall."
HP Diagnostics UEFI Removal Tool: HP sometimes provides a specific removal tool for their software. Check the HP website or your laptop's support page for a dedicated uninstaller for HP Diagnostics UEFI. Download and run this tool to remove the software.
Using the Command Prompt:
- Press Win + X and choose "Windows Terminal (Admin)" or "Command Prompt (Admin)" depending on your Windows version.
- Type the following command and press Enter:
wmic product where "name like 'HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI%'" call uninstall
This command should find and uninstall the program.
Safe Mode Uninstallation: Sometimes, certain programs are stubborn to uninstall. You can try uninstalling it in Safe Mode, which ensures minimal interference from other running processes.
- Restart your computer and repeatedly press the F8 or Shift + F8 key during boot (or use whichever key your system uses to access Safe Mode).
- In Safe Mode, try uninstalling the program using the methods mentioned above.
Manual Removal (Advanced): WARNING: This should only be attempted if you're comfortable with advanced system changes.
- Navigate to C:\Program Files\HP\HP PC Hardware Diagnostics\ and delete the folder if it exists.
- You might also need to check the Registry for any leftover entries. Press Win + R, type regedit, and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HP. Delete the "HP PC Hardware Diagnostics" folder if it exists.
- After attempting one or more of these methods, restart your computer. The software should be completely removed.
Once done please install it: https://support.hp.com/in-en/help/hp-pc-hardware-diagnostics
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
