HP OMEN Gaming Hub starts but is unresponsive

[VictusOne]

The HP OMEN Gamin Hub application will start and seems to refresh stats on the home screen (CPU, GPU, RAM) .  It will change focus in Windows, but is unresponsive to mouse or keyboard commands.  Other Apps seem to be working normally.

Thoughts on fixing this?

When run as Administrator it gets stuck on initial pop-up splash screen continuously cycling through quips.

Realized the main window was unresponsive to mouse clicks because there was a pop-up dialog box asking if I wanted to upgrade to a Beta version which had to be closed before focus would be returned to the main window. Geeeezus!
