Welcome to the HP Community.
HP Smart just released a new version a couple of days back.
This is not necessarily related to whether Windows Updates stomps on an application - that can happen at anytime.
The new release is a good opportunity to reload the app and make use of this latest version of HP Smart.
If you have not done so,
If the Repair / Reset options in the application do not fix the problem,
then
Uninstall HP Smart > Restart the computer and log in > Install the application from the Microsoft Store
Settings > Apps > Apps and Features
Search or scroll down and find HP Smart
Left-Click on the item > Uninstall
Optional >> If having continuing issues: Restart the computer and log in
"Get" a new copy of the Application from the Microsoft Store
Reminder: You’ll need to sign in to the application with your HP Account credentials.
