Software and driver update checker pops up every once in a while

[Puralaxy]

Every time I tab out an application or just when I'm watching something. The software and driver update checker keeps popping up. It gets annoying sometimes and I can't seem to find a solution. It started happening after a windows update.

HPSA - newer format version (9.6.x and beyond)

Open HP Support Assistant

If you have not done so, sign in using your HP Account credentials

Click the Settings wheel

UNCHECK (or leave) the two main notifications

Click More settings

UNCHECK all the boxes except the last one (and this one, too, if you want to do so)

Close HPSA

Restart the computer and log in

What else?

Make Windows behave itself.

Settings > System > Notifications & actions

Switch notifications to OFF

That's a bit extreme - it does significantly reduce the noise.

You can also try choosing the options (instead of shutting off everything).

Personally, I leave notifications OFF - If I want to know something, I check it.

Either I did it wrong or it didn't work because it's still happening very so often.
