-- Dragon Suggests --
Uninstall the HP Support Solutions Software from Programs and Features
Next,
Uninstall the HP Support Assistant from Programs and Features
Restart the computer and sign in
-- What? --
- Windows 8.x is not supported and will never get any better.
- The computer is old enough that there are no driver or software updates.
- There is no need to have the Support Assistant / Solutions Framework driver check / update programs on your computer.
