I have an Envy laptop;

I never game;

Why am I constantly receiving messages about HP Gaming Hub?

I have updates set automatic for Windows and HP.  This all started Summer 2023.  

Is there a way to turn it off?

Seems like documentation is for people who actually use an Omen laptop to do gaming?
