HP Smart opens on every startup. I have a Dell computer, not HP. My HP printer is in Wiscon sin. I am not using it now. I am in Florida. How can I stop this opening on every startup. I will use the HP printer when back in Wisconsin. I don't need that to opening every time anyway. I already tried to use :
msconifg/startup/open task mgr/Click startup. It is not even on the list, so I could not stop it.

@new2019rscL, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.
I understand you would like to disable the HP app on the startup.
- In the Windows search box, type startup apps or startup tasks, and press Enter.
- The window that opens will contain a list of applications that may start when your device boots. To disable an app, toggle the switch to Off.
Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.
