Printer Health Monitor, which was installed during HP Smart app installation, keeps waking up my laptop, even after disabling the task in Task Manager. It keeps returning no matter what I do to the task. This issue causes my laptop to randomly wake up while in my bag and overheat the whole device (Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio) to the point it caused damage to my computer, as well as losing my work because of the battery running out. My laptop overheated to the point that it damaged the bearings of the fans, which caused them to start vibrating. Even though this is a known issue for more than a year now, which is evident from multiple threads going back(such as: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-do-i-stop-nt-taskhphp-print-scan-doctorpri...), HP clearly does not care enough about their customers' devices, to the point they are not willing to resolve a stupid programming problem, which should not exist in the first place. Never thought I would pay for a product that would end up damaging other devices that I own, because a multi-billion-dollar company would be so useless in fixing a known, simple programming problem. Never buying an HP product again.
