Windows 10: HP Software Component Issue

On 8/31/2022 Windows Update installed HP Software Component 1.46.3053.0. A couple of days later my machine would not boot. CHKDSC was activated and it fixed the boot issue by removing this component update. Now Windows update is displaying this "Attention Needed" alert...When I click on download though nothing happens. I used the Update Utility to hide this update and that did not do anything either. I found this update in the Microsoft Update catalog but I cannot figure out how to download and install it.Any suggestions on how to fix this?

HP Inc Software Component

Yes I got it through Windows update. It said 'Hp Inc software component' with some numbers mentioned with it. I forgot to note that. But since my previous experiences of Hp updates via Hp support haven't been too good, I was worried.

 

HP Inc Software Component

Though I have uninstalled all HP bloatware from my HP laptop as it was causing occasional problem, today through Microsoft update there were two HP inc software component updates in my laptop. Is this safe for my device? Is there any way of stopping HP updates coming via Microsoft? If so, how can I do that? Your guidelines would be appreciated.
