Hello, I am having a problem with the HP Application Enabling Services on my laptop. The service is completely missing.
I have confirmed that the official HP driver package is incomplete. The installer is missing the FusionSoftware.exe file, which is required for the service to install correctly.
I have checked two different versions of the driver, 1.66.3762.0 Rev.A and 1.80.4268.0, and the file is missing from both packages.
I cannot fix this problem myself. Please check your driver package for my laptop model. The missing file needs to be added to the installer.
Thank you for your help.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @mbm91,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention and for taking the time to check the installer packages so thoroughly. We sincerely appreciate the detailed feedback you’ve provided.
Since you have already confirmed that the FusionSoftware.exe file is missing from multiple driver versions, this is not something a simple reinstall can resolve. We will escalate your case to our relevant engineering and software teams so they can review the installer package on our support site.
Our backend team will check the files and ensure the driver package is corrected if needed. While I can’t provide an immediate timeline, please rest assured that your feedback has been captured and forwarded to the right team for investigation.
In the meantime, if there are any workarounds or updated installers shared by engineering, we will notify our customers by updating them on the HP portal.
Thank you again for your patience and for helping us improve our software.
Take care and have an amazing day!

If you're experiencing issues with the HP Application Enabling Services missing on your OMEN 17 gaming laptop and have identified that the FusionSoftware.exe file is absent from the official driver packages, here’s what you can do:
- Check HP Support Website:

Thank you, VikramTheGreat, for your quick response.
However, I have already tried all of the steps you listed, and they did not resolve the issue.
My original post explained that I have confirmed the problem is with the installer package itself. The file FusionSoftware.exe is missing from the official driver downloads.
I have checked two different driver versions, 1.66.3762.0 Rev.A and 1.80.4268.0, and the file is missing from both.
Since this is a bug in the official installer, I kindly request that you escalate this issue to your engineering team. This is not something that a user can fix with a simple reinstall.
Thank you.
