Hi @Joe396,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community

 

I understand need help to Pin the HP Smart app icon on your Taskbar. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

 

Please follow the below instructions to set the app on your taskbar:

To pin apps to the taskbar

  • Select Start, select the arrow next to All apps, right-click the HP Smart app, then select More > Pin to taskbar.
  • If the app is already open on the desktop, press and hold (or right-click) the app's taskbar icon, and then select Pin to taskbar.
  • This will solve your issue.

I hope that answers your concern adequately. Let me know!

Thanks for trying to help, but I already have the HP Smart icon on my taskbar. I rarely need it except for the use of the scanner. The subject line doesn't have the whole issue. What it left off was that I wanted to add an icon for just the scan feature, as loading the whole app takes too long.

@Joe396,

 

Thank you for your response, so if you just want to add the shortcut for scanning then I would recommend you go ahead and Download HP Scan and Capture an alternate scanning application developed for the Windows Operating system.

 

You may use this reference document: Using the HP Scan and Capture App. Once you install the application go ahead and PIN it to the taskbar which should resolve your issue.

 

I hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
