Windows 10: Installation error 1722 failed to add port monitor HP discovery

Thanks @essenbe. Maybe getting Windows Update fixed might help the Store problem...

 

Success! I was able to download an update after following Windows Update Reset and was also able to access the Store.

I do not have a Microsoft account.

Here is the screen shot from the Device Manager:

 

I don't want to jump ahead if there is more troubleshooting to do. Thanks to you, essenbe and to simrick for all of your help thus far. Looking forward to see what's next.

 

You're welcome for any help I was able to provide. As far as what's next, I think @simrick would be the best judge of that. Simrick has had great success at dealing with this type of problem and is excellent at it.

 

YAY! *Dinesh

Thanks @essenbe! *Smile

Okay, please go to the store and just try to install an app - anything free, like The Weather Channel or something - just to make sure it's working. If so, I think it's time to try installing the HP Envy e-all-in-one full feature software and drivers. Do you agree @essenbe?

 

I appreciate you both and I agree that @simrick is great. Thanks again.

 

@tkostera One more thing - please open Defender and see if you can update it now, or if it has auto-updated and the virus definitions are already current.

 

@simrick, I am in business. Install was successful and I am printing. *Smile

When I successfully ran Windows Update earlier, it also updated Windows Defender and I have current virus definitions as of today when the update completed.

Thanks again for your help and patience! It is very much appreciated!

 

Excellent news!

Please create a restore point before you do anything else.

I would advise leaving Charter's F-Secure for another day....maybe never. I can recommend Avast! Antivirus Free. We have confirmation here in the forum that it works well with W10. If you decide to install it, please only install the items I show highlighted below, and use the custom install so you can also skip the optional Google Chrome:






The combination of Malwarebytes Antiexploit Free (active) and Malwarebytes Antimalware Free (passive) works well with Avast.

Another viable option is to continue using Defender, but then add the paid version of Malwarebytes Antimalware, and the free version of Malwarebytes Antiexploit.

Good job! And, please be sure to give a rep (thumbs up) to @essenbe, who saved you from an in-place upgrade! *Wink
