Windows 10: Is it safe to disable hppusg, conhost etc which are affecting startup?

My Windows 10 Laptop, HP Pavillion series, bought 2016, starts up very slowly and apps also take a lot of time to load initially. After sometime, things get comparatively better and apps load up at an okay-ish speed. I thought of checking the startup menu in task manager and saw this. "hppusg" having a very high impact of startup. Now the problem is, I can't disable it without disabling some other apps, which show up in the dropdown menu, too, and I am afraid I might end up crashing my system. Should I disable this? Some Microsoft Features also disable automatically with hppusg, and I want to make sure that they are not essential system processes.
