What is HP.OMEN.Overlay.overlayHelper? Every time I power up I have to deal with its stupid pop-up. How do I make it stop?

Hi @RandalWJ, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

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

The HP.OMEN.Overlay.overlayHelper is part of the OMEN Gaming Hub software. It’s a background process that enables the in-game overlay feature, allowing you to monitor performance metrics, adjust settings, and use other gaming-related features while playing.

How to Stop the Pop-up:

If you don’t use OMEN Gaming Hub, or if you just want to disable the overlay pop-up, here’s what you can do:

1. Disable Overlay from OMEN Gaming Hub

1. Open OMEN Gaming Hub.
2. Go to Settings (gear icon).
3. Look for an option related to Overlay and disable it.
4. Restart your PC and check if the pop-up appears.

2. Disable the OverlayHelper from Startup

1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
2. Click on the Startup tab.
3. Find HP.OMEN.Overlay.overlayHelper or anything related to OMEN Gaming Hub.
4. Right-click and select Disable.
5. Restart your PC.

3. Uninstall OMEN Gaming Hub (if you don’t need it)

1. Press Win + R, type appwiz.cpl, and hit Enter.
2. Scroll down and find OMEN Gaming Hub.
3. Right-click and select Uninstall.
4. Restart your PC.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
