Product: HP Envy 17
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

In the past week or so, I've begun to notice the HP Hardware Diagnostics application suddenly running, opening a window in the background (it shows when I do a task switch), and after a minute or two, it goes away. I've run the diagnostics and there are no errors. I've confirmed this is the real application, run both virus scan and malwarebytes to ensure there is nothing malicious, and looked through the task schedule to see if I could find what was triggering this... but I can't

 

Is this normal behavior? I've had the machine for a year and a quarter, and never noticed this before. Is this something new that is happening, and should I be worried
