HP Omen MAX 16

Yesterday there were no ads in the Omen Gaming Hub, now there are.
I bought this laptop partially due to the new gaming hub with better control over its power and fans, and now there are advertisements in this critical part of the computer.
You already have ads littered around the software in the form of the bloated "Deals", "Free Games", etc.
It is impossible for me to now instantly jump from the dropdown "Omen Max 16" to my graphics switch (which I use >2 times daily).

Honestly, I'm fine with the subtle advertisements in "Games and Deals", but they should not be on the front page when I OPEN THE CONTROL PANEL.

^There are no mentions of ads or even an update here for any new additions.


I want an installable file to get back the last version of the software, or for HP to remove the ads.

I also wish the software did not try to load the deals and games in the background on app launch so it could be even faster, but that's not the main deal here. This is a new laptop, and a MSRP $2200 laptop should never have ads

TLDR: Yesterday there were no ads, now there are. I want them removed or at least a way to turn them off

Agreed. This is ridiculous. I don't need or want to worry about ads running on-screen or in the background.
