Manage HP Client Security app notifications

[BloomingAzaleas]

New laptop with Sept 2017 HP image installed.  HP Client Security Manager 9.3.4 installed and active. Has interesting set of features and I have already used one.  However, every time I open a browser it pops a notice about installing its password management exstention for the browser.  Well, I already have a password manager solution that integrates with browsers and other apps and is USB portable across computers and computer vendors  I don't want an HP-only solution for password management.  So after receiving the notification a few dozen times I want to turn that particular notfication off.  In the app Settings menu I see all kinds of policy options EXCEPT notification control.

I would rather not un-install this app since it does offer useful features - I just will not be using all of them.  How to control notifications for HP Client Security features I will not use?

In which browser are you receiving the notices?

Have you tried disabling the Client Security in the browser extensions / add-ons?

For example,

Open Firefox > Options > Add-ons > Extensions >

Disable HP Client Security

Tell Client Security to mind its own business:

Open Client Security Dashboard > Password Manager > Setup

UNCHECK Prompt to add a logon when on a logon screen >

Save

In general, you can switch off most / many notifications.

For example,

Settings > System > Notifications and actions >

switch OFF    Get notifications from apps and other senders

switch OFF    Get tips, tricks, and suggestions as you use Windows

Receiving Windows notifications when launching Chrome & FF, not notifications from within the brower applications. I am receiving the notifications from HPCSM because HPCSM brower extensions for it are *not* installed.  In any case, per your pointer found the Windows Setting to turn off notfications from HPCSM.  Alas, I presume this turns off ALL HPCSM notifications rather than just the brower extension install nagging.  Oh well.

I installed the extension in Firefox and then disabled it.

I (too) am using a separate password manager -- having Client Security extension installed does give me the option of adding some (a few) passwords into the CS manager should I choose to do so.  I simply enable the extension (AND leave the password manager CHECKED in CS), then add the desired password to the CS manager.  I disable the extension after I have added the password to the logon for the website .  A sort of "just in case" scenario in case my primary password manager fails for some reason.

I have not installed CS into Chrome -- possibly because I have nearly every notification switched off through Windows, I don't get the "install me!" pop / notification.  

I might have I discovered a clever method along the way and have forgotten how I did it.  Smiling.

Try installing the extension(s) and then disable it / them in the appropriate browser.

Good Luck.

FYI, disabling HPCSM notifications in Widows Settings does not seem to stop them.
