Hi @bmw96,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.  
 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

It seems like you're providing instructions to disable the "scantopcactivationapp" associated with HP printers. If you're having issues with this application and want to disable it, the steps you've mentioned involve accessing the system configuration and modifying the startup settings. Here's a step-by-step breakdown.

 

Open System Configuration:

  • Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
  • Type msconfig and press Enter.
  • This will open the System Configuration utility.

Navigate to the Startup Tab:

  • In the System Configuration window, navigate to the "Startup" tab.

Locate HP Digital Imaging Monitor:

  • Look for an entry related to HP Digital Imaging. It may be named something like "HP Digital Imaging Monitor" or similar.

Uncheck the Relevant Entry:

  • Find the entry that is associated with "scantopcactivation" or similar.
  • Uncheck the box next to this entry.

Apply Changes and Restart:

  • Click "Apply" or "OK" to save the changes.
  • You may be prompted to restart your computer. If not, manually restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

 

By following these steps, you should disable the specified HP application from starting up with your computer. Keep in mind that disabling startup programs should be done with caution, as some programs are essential for the proper functioning of your system.

 

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
