    Hello It has been observed that HP Smart App is automatically installed on many computers using Win 10. Then all the different printers in the devices and printers folder turned into the HP icon and brand? What could be the reason and solution for this?

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft community. I regret the inconvenience caused to you. Let me help you.

    • What is the Model number of this HP system?

    This issue might be due to the compatibility reasons. So I suggest you install Hp media smart program or app in compatibility mode and check.

    I want you install the hp smart menu from the link given below and then run the program in compatibility mode.

    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&softwareitem=ob-80442-1

    To run the program in compatibility mode follow the link and instructions mentioned in the link.

    Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows

    Make older apps or programs compatible with Windows - Microsoft Support

    I suggest you perform a clean boot and try transferring the data
    . Setting the system in a clean boot state will help to identify if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue.

    Warning: After clean boot troubleshooting steps, refer to the section "How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot" in the provided link
    to return your computer to Normal startup mode.

    Hope the information helps.

    Why is HP Smart installed unintentionally?

    Setup of HP Officejet 9015e failing because HP Smart App does not open

    I suggest you uninstall HP Smart then just download & install your normal / "Full solution" driver & application package from HP.
