Windows 10: What is "HP Application Enabling Software Driver" ?

My HP ProBook has been offered the HP Application Enabling Software Driver (see below). Does this serve any useful purpose or is it more HP bloatware?

This package provides the HP Application Enabling Software Driver for supported models running a supported operating system. HP Application Enabling Software Driver is a virtual driver that offers general custom capabilities which will be utilized among HP applications after transferring to the Microsoft store app with HSA architecture.

HP recovery manager is there, but my RECOVERY partition is not there. so HP recovery manager lists all the drivers and applications present in C:\SWsetup (it says nothing found if that folder is moved). and i think HP recovery manager cannot use the DVDs to install the drivers and applications. and i booted from disc-1, it opens the recovery interface but there is no option to restore ONLY the drivers and applications. i guess the only option is what others have suggested.
