Title. How do I stop this useless stuff from ever getting downloaded again. Between the dumb blocking of undervolting by HP, between the BSOD caused by bluetooth driver HP doesn't ever help anybody with so you have to figure out that ourselves. I am not stopping all Windows updates to fix one dumb issue HP causes every single time they release an update. The previous "fix" for this issue would be me uninstalling the firmware and I guess that would rollback to a previous version. I am sick of doing that because I know someday it will screw me over. I want a real fix, which is proper updates or to stop sending them altogether and trying to intentionally ruin out gaming laptops

I'm glad I fixed it myself and didn't wait for any HP support to chime in. Not that they would give any info, they like to reply with things like "Please PM me" or "Please call this number", trying to either mislead and lie or upsell stuff. I hope more people see this and avoid this brand, they don't even try to deny pumping out bad drivers or firmware, or removing features, etc. Their "desktop CPU inside laptop with overclocking features" are a lie as well because they lock down the firmware as well.
