HP Smart stopped working on Feb 21, 2021. I can't do anything with the app. When I click on the icon, it opens to a page asking if I would like to help HP Smart...? Regardless,if I click No or Yes  the page tries to open and then reverts back to the same page.

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.
 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:  

Firstly, let's update the printer's firmware, refer - HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware

If the issue persists, follow the next steps. Uninstall the app from your Windows 10 device through All Apps list.

  1. In Windows, search for and open Apps & features.

    Searching for Apps & features

  2. Click HP Smart in the list of apps, and then click Uninstall.

    Uninstalling HP Smart app

And, install HP smart app from here: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c04675142

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
