Can't remove HP Omen Gaming Hub from System Tray

[kdjm]

Ever since a recent update, HP Omen Gaming Hub will not close out from my system tray on Windows 10. Even though I disabled it on startup from the Task Manager and never open it, it still shows up as if it's running. Moreover, when I do open the software to try and find how to remove it from the system tray, there's no option to do so. Finally, I tried to uninstall the Omen Gaming Hub, and apparently that's not an option as well. I just want to get this off of my system tray. Are there any other options for removing it?

Hi@kdjm,

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

I recommend you update the command center from Windows store and check whether it resolves the issue.

Here is how it is done.

1. Click the Windows Store icon in the system tray.
2. Search for OMEN Command Center.
3. Click Update. Wait while the program downloads and installs.
4. Click Play.
   OMEN Command Center opens.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

I couldn't believe the reply to OP when I saw that. HP's own command center for the desktop doesn't even work and they refuse to even fix the bloody thing. What is wrong with HP when their own developers can;t even fix the Hyper X Fury lighting controls? Seriously, it's not rocket science to allow Omen owners the ability to remove the OGH. I'm appalled that they even thought it was a good idea to merge the two. I just purchased the Omen 30L and I couldn't believe how utterly useless app is. I'm already searching for a solution to remove the thing from my system.

You just posted the same worthless answer as last time. Stop giving us worthless answers. We want to be able to right click the program and click EXIT like we used instead of having to constantly being forced to End Process every time we start our computer to close it out.

1 - Right-click the taskbar.
2 - Select the HP Omen Gaming Hub and interests menu.
3 - Check the Turn off option to disable the feature.
4 - (Optional) Clear the Turn off option to enable the feature.
5 - Once you complete the steps, the news and interests taskbar widget will be permanently disabled on Windows 10.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
