How to install HP Smart on my work computer, says app is missing

[vickyinepa]

My work computer runs on Windows 10 Enterprise and I need admin permission to install anything on it. IT has tried to install the HP SMart app but a message is received saying "This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Settings Page". 

MY IT department has no clue how to do this and they expect me to tell them how to install the app when I don't know what kind of permissions or programs this computer is running. Anyone have a clue on how to tackle this?????

Not sure what we can offer.

You need a connection to the Microsoft Store and the ability to install applications from the store onto the computer.

Application installation of this type requires not only the Microsoft Account access to the store but also "administrator" privilege to install applications / software onto the File System.

That your IT department cannot provide the means for you to install the application is unfortunate.

There is no "workaround" or alternate method to install HP Smart into your Windows 10 Operating System.
