Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I purchased a HP Officejet Pro 8135e all-in one printer which I have uninstalled as there was a problem getting it working correctly. At one time I had the printer portion working on USB, but when I tried to get the scanner drivers the Wi-Fi came on and no one at HP Tech could help me straighten it out. The printer is not going to be reinstalled and is boxed for return. I have uninstalled the HP printer program through "Programs and Features". I have gone into the Task Manager and disabled the HP startup apps and tried to delete the HP content from Explorer. I wouldn't let me shred any of the files, but would let me delete some. The problem is the files keep coming back. I went to my HP account and removed the printer from list. These popups are really hurting my productivity. How do I stop the HP updates?1122

Hi @chuck1103 

You can uninstall that "Printer App" following steps from the next video, using Windows > Settings > Installed apps > Uninstall option.

 

Try to find something related to "ADORE" software app and click Uninstall.

 

Then restart your computer to start clean.
