Yes, I realize you have a Probook - I provided the Zbook and Elitebook as examples only. My apologies that the wording made it appear that I thought otherwise.
I will attempt to clarify.
For example,
- The Elitebook x360 1030 G2 is not specifically listed in any driver file (at this writing). The Elitebook model does apparently support the Phonewise application. I installed the Phonewise application and the software is asking me to connect my phone. I have not yet connected my Android phone to the application - the installation was intended only as a compatibility test.
- The Zbook 17 G3 is not listed in any of the driver files to which I have access (at this writing). The Zbook (apparently) does not support the application. Phonewise does not fully install and balks at the "Driver" installation phase. The application does not work on the Zbook.
- Both systems are able to find the Phonewise application in both sources: Google Play store and Microsoft Store

HP Phonewise has been discontinued.
Microsoft offers its own software for phone management:
Microsoft Store - Your Phone App
Other software may be available, of course, use your favorite browser and search for phone apps.

This is something you will have to do for yourself. From what I have read, the installation and setup are not difficult.
HP PHONEWISE is an application that you download from the Apple or Google Store (depending on your phone).
Partial excerpt from the document FAQ:
The application allows you to connect your phone to your PC and:
- Take calls through your PC’s speakers or connected headset
- Respond to text messages using your keyboard
- Receive your favorite application’s notifications
- View all your phone’s contacts
The FAQ document includes how-to and the requirements and compatibility information.

Try here for the App for the phone:
For PC - Installation
FYI Only - You likely do not need the following information; the Phonewise application from the Microsoft store takes care of installing the driver.
Driver:
Information File for the Driver (Text file format):
OK, not tested -- the app does install on Elitebook x360 1030 G2 and appears to be functional. ?

You are welcome.
I am sorry the answer (at least for now) is not what you wanted to hear.
Enjoy the fall weather! USA West Coast loves this time of year!
