HP One Agent installed automatically, won't stay un-installed, keeps creating system restore points

[codger65]

HP One Agent was installed it seems by a Windows 11 update (at least it shows up after a Windows 11 update in system restore points) and I did not install it. I have uninstalled it but it re-installs after a re-boot. I have disabled it in task manager>startup apps but it still activates itself after a re-boot? My research says it is an app for HP printers - but I do not have a HP printer? It also constantly creates system restore points ( like 5 or 6 at a time)? I started to think it might be malware or a virus disguised as a HP app but none of my scans by two different virus scanners showed anything unusual? I went into task manager> startup apps and disabled HP One Agent but it still shows up after a re-boot? Tried to contact HP but cannot find a phone number or contact point to help with this? Anyone else have this problem and/or a solution? HELP!

It seems to be a service that can be stopped and disabled via services.msc. Uninstalling does not work : it reinstalls itself.

There is something that worked to suppress HP One Agent.

Though I haven't found how to prevent HP One Agent to re-install itself, I have found that a cold boot with no Internet connection prevents this service to create a restore point. This is a shot-term solution. So far I have tried all documented ways to get rid of this with no effectiveness. HP must provide a solution !
