The is not an option to download HP Pen Control from the Microsoft store. Is there another way to download it? What can I do to download HP Pen Control. The app will show up when I google it, however it will not come up when searching in the store. When I can find it in the Microsoft store, there is no option to download the app.

Welcome to the HP Community --

 

True - The HP Pen Control app was removed from the Microsoft Store a while back.

Update / Edits

 

Our HP Community Moderator team admins worked to make this happen -- 

 

At least for now, we have a solution in place to make it possible to have the HP Pen Control.

 

NOTE

If the instructions (or the example) don't make sense, blame the Dragon -- this is a first pass How-to 

 

True - this HP Pen Control might be an older version -- it is what could be done.

 

=======================================

HP Pen Control – Executable / App

 

Download / Save / Install the package

or

Download and execute / run in browser.

 

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp82001-82500/sp82491.exe

 

The "install" is fast and quickly gone from the screen.

 

There is no wrapper, for example, there is no window to ask the user to add the installed program to the Desktop (make a shortcut).

 

That said, all the parts are there.

 

Open the installed software folder 

C:\Program Files (x86)\ELAN\HP Pen Control

 

---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  --- 

 

ControlAP.exe  

Double-click opens the app right on the display.

 

HP Pen Control.exe 

Double-Click opens the app in the Taskbar (then click and open to the display)

Right-Click opens the menus > Pin to Start > More options > Pin to taskbar / send to desktop (shortcut).

 

Example - HP Pen Control – ELAN

HP_Pen_Control_ELAN_1HP_Pen_Control_ELAN_1
