Hi @Altair31,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

There could be several reasons why the HP Omen Gaming Hub isn't opening and instead showing a pop-up error. Here are a few potential causes and solutions.

• Software Conflict: Sometimes, conflicts with other software installed on your computer can prevent the HP Omen Gaming Hub from opening properly. Try closing any unnecessary programs running in the background and then attempt to open the Gaming Hub again.
• Outdated Software or Drivers: Ensure that both the HP Omen Gaming Hub and your computer's drivers are up-to-date. Outdated software or drivers can cause compatibility issues that prevent the Gaming Hub from functioning correctly. You can usually update the software through the app itself or by visiting the HP website for driver updates.
• Corrupted Installation: If the Gaming Hub was not installed correctly or if some of its files are corrupted, it may fail to open. Try uninstalling the Gaming Hub, restarting your computer, and then reinstalling it from scratch. This can often resolve issues caused by corrupted installations.
• Permissions or Firewall Settings: Check if the Gaming Hub has the necessary permissions to run on your system. Sometimes, overzealous firewall settings or security software can block the Gaming Hub from opening. Make sure that the Gaming Hub is allowed through any firewall or security software you have installed.
• Hardware Issues: In rare cases, hardware issues such as a faulty graphics card or insufficient system resources can prevent the Gaming Hub from opening correctly. Check that your computer meets the minimum system requirements for the Gaming Hub and ensure that all hardware components are functioning properly.
• Check Error Message: The pop-up error message you're seeing might provide clues about the specific issue preventing the Gaming Hub from opening. Pay attention to any error codes or messages in the pop-up, as they can help narrow down the problem and find a solution.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
