I found a reddit post and a screenshot of how to go into the task manager, select the HP tasks there, and disable their ability to wake from sleep to perform the task. I suppose HP didn't test this on desktops, because it would not happen on laptops not connected to power, but definitely does on a desktop. And it's crazy to think that the tasks were made with this option enabled.
