HP stream 14 ax067nr
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a HPstream14 ax067nr

 

This computer is not under warranty. It is an experiment. No more, no less. However, I don't want to thrash it needlessly.

 

Is it ok to uninstall the following:

 

HP Wireless Button Driver. There isn't a "Wireless button" on the computer.

 

HP Audio switch.

 

If I don't NEED them, I want to REMOVE them.

Hi:

 

You shouldn't uninstall the HP wireless button driver.

 

There may not be a wireless 'button' per se, but there is a F12 wireless key (the one with the airplane icon) that enables/disables the wireless.

 

The HP wireless button driver enables that key to work.

 

A forum member on the last post at the link below indicated he uninstalled the HP Audio switch software without any negative impact.
