Product: Pavilion 15
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have recently installed the HP Support Assistant which I am pleased with.
I do not want the icon that it has added to my taskbar and cannot find how to prevent it

I can right click and remove the HP SA toolbar but I do not want to do this everytime my laptop opens.
Please advise how I can achieve this
Thank you

Hi,

 

Try the following.

Many thanks - I had tried the settings but the scroll bar was almost invisible and I missed it - could do with being wider!
