Welcome to the HP Forums 🙂 I would like to take a moment and thank you for using this forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience on the HP forum, you could also visit our HP Forums Guide for First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. I see from your post you in need of support and I'd be glad to help you out.
To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:
Could you provide me with the exact model of the notebook? Use this link to find it: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c03754824 (Ensure you do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc...).
Are you using the original charger that came with the PC?
Perform a Hard reset on the notebook:
Many startup errors and other problems can be resolved by decreasing the amount of power stored in hardware components. Decreasing stored power is sometimes referred to as a "Hard Reset". Use the following steps to perform a hard reset on a computer:
1. If Windows is open, click Start and then Shutdown.
If Windows is not open and the computer has power, press and hold the power button on the computer until the computer shuts off.
2. With the power off, disconnect the power cord from the back of the computer.
3. With the power off and the power cord disconnected, press the power button on the computer for 5 seconds. The power light indicator on or near the power button might turn on briefly but then go out.
4. Reconnect the power cord and turn on the power.
I would suggest you follow these steps here:
- Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc)
- Navigate to the Startup tab
- Find and expand HP Message Service
- Right-click HP SmartAdapter and select Open file location
- Delete the application that is highlighted
If the issue persists, I would suggest have you tried checking with a different adapter?
As you mentioned you keep getting HP smart adapter pop up on your PC and you need to know how to disable the pop-up.
Try the steps recommended below to disable the HP smart adapter pop up notification.
In the search window on your PC open the following location and delete the files listed.
1- C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\HP Quick Launch
2- Delete file HP CnbToaster.dll
3- Delete file HPUSRMSG.exe
4- Delete file HP Smart Adapter Help
Also, try the steps recommend below.
Double-click the HP Support Assistant on your desktop to launch the program, then click "Settings" in the bottom left corner of the window.
In the Choose how you would like to be notified section, you can change the following settings:
To display a notification icon in your taskbar, click Display an icon in your taskbar. The icon will change, based on the type of message or update.
To display pop-up notifications for important messages, click Display pop-ups for important messages that required immediate attention.
To display pop-up notifications for important warranty messages, click Display pop-ups for important warranty status messages.
If the issue still persists after trying out the steps I would suggest you uninstall the Quick Launch software from the control panel and install the latest version using HP support assistant.
Refer this article to know more information about using HP support assistant.
Let me know if those steps worked for you.
If they did, that’s awesome!
