HP CoolSense Multiple Icons

[TwoSpeeds]

I currently own a HP Pavilion x360. I have had it for ~1-1.5 years, and it has sustained some damage. The screen is cracked and the touch screen does not work. The headphone jack is inoperable also. However, this is not the issue I have. When I click the 'Show hidden icons' button over to the middle right of the taskbar, it shows three HP CoolSense icons. All of them appear to work. When I open Task Manager and scroll to background processes, it shows three independent processes. What caused this error, and what would happen if I were to end two of the three tasks?

Hi @TwoSpeeds,

Welcome to HP Forums, this is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you.

I understand that you wanted to know why there were multiple entries for Hp CoolSense in the task manager.

This issue could occur if the processes are run multiple times.

You may end the 1st two entries from the top.

You have a good day ahead.
