[Jeffry_Ling-3]

Hi, my laptop keep sending me this : Omen Command Center Background.exe Application Error

I had tried the steps from the following post: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Software-and-How-To-Questions/Omen-Command-Center-Background-...

But I cannot create a system restore point because it shows my windows C protection is off.

How can I resolve this?
