HP ENVY - 17m-bw0013dx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Windows update shows the HP SoftwareComponents 1.40.2695.0 pending download and I cannot get it to download or get rid of it. It has been this way for a couple of months. When I click Download in Windows Update, there is no response.

 

I have ripped out the Windows Update mechanism manually and restored it and that clears out the pending download until the next time I check for downloads. How do I complete this download or eliminate the prompt?
