HP.OMEN.OMENInstallMonitor task hijacked computer

Just quickly made an account to confirm I had the exact same issue, and getting rid of OmenHub brought the CPU and RAM back to normal levels. It was an ordeal because of the extreme lag and crashing it was causing tho, an absolute headache

Created an account just to reply to this - same exact thing happened to me this morning. Had to safe boot and then delete all omen files from my computer which luckily fixed it. windows-type run-msconfig-boot-safe boot minimal-restart. The other way of safe booting with F8 didn't work for me. Then delete omen files via program uninstall in windows menu, *then all files in temp and local folders as well* (super important). This should have it fixed. Never having omen on my computer ever again after this one.. maybe even won't but another HP monitor.

The files might be in your app data-local-hp folder. That is where mine was. You can get there using windows run %appdata% then go into the local folder. I would just run a search in here and also the temp folder and delete anything omen.

Same issue here, hard restarted my PC and once booted up immediately went to CP to uninstall. Once uninstall was complete the processes had already taken over so another reboot was needed to fully remove the program.

just made an account to add to this, same issue, had my omen monitor for 3 years and this just happened this morning, uninstalling omen gaming hub and restarting pc fixed the issue, but super strange this just came out of nowhere for everyone the past couple days

Had the exact same problem, the program used to be good but now it's actual bloatware. What worked for me was uninstalling the gaming hub, restarting the pc and quickly killing the single process that starts. Deleted it right from the getgo once a single process popped up and it seems to have stopped it, allowing me to delete the entire cache folder with the stupid process executable in the background, seems to be a thing in the config, since the minute I deleted that it stopped duplicating.

I am glad I have found this! This was ridiculous! Months have passed since this was raised and I just got this today! HP you guys better improve! I have 50 hp laptops in my company in my care! Not sure I’m going to get new ones when their replacement time comes

Made an account to type here, this has only just happened to me, booted PC up to find 100% CPU/RAM/C drive, eventually found it was OMENMonitoringHardware, eventually managed to get into Apps/Features to remove it. Restarted the PC and it's back to normal.

Same issue happened to me today, July 5th, 2024, 7:30 PM CST. Had the same issue and seen CPU, Memory and SSD was at 100%. Found out that it was hp.omen.omeninstallmonitor and restarted PC and went into task manager, right clicked on hp.omen.omeninstallmonitor, open folder location and deleted t right away before multiple pages started to open. Fixed my issue almost instantly. You're welcome.

Happened to me also. Uninstalling Omen gaming helped.
