Hello,

I understand that you encountered a problem when you wanted to install your printer, please download Fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed from the Microsoft website, and then try installing again.

If the issue continue, please follow the following procedure:

  2. On the keyboard, simultaneously tap the Windows flag and the R key. The Run window opens.
  3. Type appwiz.cpl, then OK. The Programs and Features window opens.
  4. Click the right mouse button on HP OfficeJet 7610 series Basic Device Software, then Uninstall and Yes.

    Note: If the software uninstall process does not start or an error displays while uninstalling, download Fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed from the Microsoft website, and then try uninstalling again.

  5. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the uninstall of the printer.
  6. Restart the computer.

I tried the first two steps. Did not solve problem.

Resetting Windows will be last option.

I suppose that there is some conflict with the latest updates for Windows 10. Few weeks ago everything worked well.

Thanks for your effort
