Some time last year in a moment of weakness I downloaded and installed HP Smart. I had been content to just do it the old fashion way of manually installing the drivers for my printer. I had been reluctant to download and install HP Smart ever since it came out. And ( surprise!) the last time I checked Services the Disabled HP Service had disappeared.I am glad you got this sorted out. I found the HP service in Services and disabled it again a few days ago, and the HP Smart annoyance hasn't come back since. Their hardware used to be good, but their software and its support have always been remarkably bad. Try this:Ģ) Open Windows File Explorer as administrator, navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\HP, and delete the entire folder and subfolders.ģ) Open Regedit as adminstrator, navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDlls, and delete all keys with names that start with C:\Program Files (x86)\HPĤ) Stop buying HP. Result: uninstallation is unfortunately a manual process. > Just deleting the shortcut leaves behind 26 DLL registrations in the registry, for a slight slowdown of your PC's startup.Ī factual response to the OP HP Print and Scan Detector installs itself to Windows, but fails to properly register itself for standard uninstallation. * PCs have something called a "registry": HP Print and Scan Detector INSTALLS its DLL files in the registry at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDlls. > Just deleting the shortcut leaves behind 231 files in 28 folders, or 74 megabytes of your hard drive space that you can't use anymore. * PCs have something called a "filesystem": HP Print and Scan Detector INSTALLS its files in the filesystem at C:\Program Files (x86)\HP. This is basic PC knowledge, and honestly shameful that HP would let someone officially respond without that. Deleting a shortcut icon is NOT uninstalling.
