Windows 10: I wish I had save my money on this hp laptop.

I decided to buy a laptop to view streaming programs without understanding how limited Microsoft store apps would affect my usage.


Anyone complaining about Apple software difficulties, I am guilty, beware Microsoft 10 software has me appreciate Apple and Google my one stop apps.


So disappointing my hp Pavillion is useless.

Bloatware on new HP laptop

Being a loyal hp/Compaq customer since 2006, I have bought since then 9 laptops from them, for my family.
I do the exact same thing with the proposed by @NavyLCDR process!
Create a full image of the hp installation, just for peace of mind and clean install Windows and reinstall the drivers as proposed, although nowadays that's not necessary either, as Microsoft provides all necessary drivers upon installation.
You might make an exception for the Intel RST and sound drivers. The first one after testing the best performing one for your system and the second, the best sounding one according to your tastes.
Update the BIOS to the most recent one, proposed by hp and don't bother with its bloatware.
As for HPSA, it won't do anything more than give you the same list you'll get with a simple visit to the hp support page for your PC.
Save yourself the time and effort trying to decide what is worth keeping or not, from all the hp installed bloatware! *Smile

 

Bloatware on new HP laptop

On every off-the-shelf retail computer I have ever purchased, I have done the following:
1. Make a backup image of the HDD/SSD using Macrium Reflect, storing it on my NAS.
2. Make a bootable USB flash drive of the latest Windows 10 available directly from Microsoft.
3. Use DISM /export-driver command to save drivers to the USB flash drive created in step 2.
4. Re-install Windows by booting from the flash drive created in Step 2, wiping the HDD/SSD in the process.
5. Re-install any special drivers needed from those saved to the USB flash drive in step 3.

On the one HP laptop with a fingerprint reader I used to have, I did re-install the HP software for saving passwords which I downloaded from HP's support website so I could swipe my finger to enter website passwords.

 

My hp laptop wont turn on

This is a frequent problem am sure as you have already seen from online searches.

Flea power is usually the culprit here, basically its residual power that remains on the computer even after thecomputer has been shutdown. You can drain the flea power with the steps the other answers have suggested.

• Disconnecting the battery and adapter
• Press the hardpress the power button for 30 seconds
• This should clear the flea power

If this doesnt work, read this article its about
a dell inspiron but the same applies for you hp. It has some detailed step by step instructions
