Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

If the HP Smart application is currently installed in Settings > Apps > Installed Apps

Consider

 

Check / Run Windows Updates > Install any pending updates

 

Next,

>>> Restart everything, including the router that controls your network.  <<<

 

Open and Check HP Smart

 

If the HP Smart opens but does not work or hangs partly open > Close the HP Smart App.

If you cannot stop HP Smart, Restart the computer and log in > Do not restart HP Smart yet.

 

No Joy?

Reset HP Smart Application - Windows

 

Next,

Reset the HP Smart application - This action removes the app data.

 

Windows 10 -

Settings > Apps > Apps and Features

 

Windows 11 - 

Settings > Apps > Installed Apps

 

Search and Find HP Smart in the apps list

Open Advanced options > Reset the app

 

Restart the computer and log in

Open HP Smart > Sign in > Add Printer(s)

 

HP_Smart_Win_Apps-and-Features_ Reset_4HP_Smart_Win_Apps-and-Features_ Reset_4

 

If the app Reset does not work by itself,

Next,

Uninstall the HP Smart App from Settings > Apps > Apps and Features / Installed Apps

Restart the computer and log in

“Get” a new copy of the HP Smart application from the Microsoft Store

Open HP Smart > Sign in > Add Printer(s)
