Hi,
The HP Hardware Diagnostics will not open (run as administrator) for me to run a battery test. I have already repaired, restarted, and even reinstalled the Diagnostics application so that step has already been attempted with no success. What I get is the opening image but then it goes away and the program never opens.
I am trying to troubleshoot why my battery shuts off without warning (have already adjusted the battery settings) and running out of options.
