Product: Elitebook 1050 G1
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

HP Client Security is functionally broken.

Without my knowledge, let alone aggreement, this OEM software descided to block access to my external hard drives, asking for my windows password, yet not accepting it. This happended after a reboot.

I have no local admin account enabled - I use an Azure AD/Office365 account + personal windows account.

Can't change settings without giving the "unknown" password. I can perfectly log in to my machine + online using my windows password.
Removing all this crappy OEM HP software as I can't afford any more delay at work. This should not happen with a 2500€ machine. HP is effectively locking me out of my own data!

Jebus, how many more reboots does it take to remove this bloatware?

It's bloatware, it's turning awesome machines into bricks..

Finally, removed it, which also finally got my windows Hello working. Was wondering why that didn't work after setup.
