“I have got this notebook
HP Pavilion gaming 15 ak-112nl
CPU: i7 6700 HQ
GPU: gtx 950m (4GB)
RAM 8 GB
HDD 1TB 5400rpm
O.S Windows 10 64 bit
I got some HP software on my computer, should I remove it or not?”
Let me make clear what those apps mentioned by you does.
- The apps like HP System Event Utility enables special function keys on the system to be programmed.
- Registration service and most other are just for the purpose of gathering information and feedback from customers.
- HP Sure Connect automatically recovers the driver of a communications device that has stopped functioning.
- HP Wireless Button →This program provides the HP Wireless Button driver for supported notebook models running a supported operating system. Supports the ability to use the built in wireless keys (required for them to work correctly).
In my opinion all of them are unnecessary bloatware and not required to be present in the desktop. So you could remove them if you want.
Some users may experience the above problems while using their computer. Normally, if you are unable to successfully remove a program, your computer may have either one or several of the below problems:
- HP program was not properly or completely installed previously.
- Windows system is unable to locate the default uninstaller of the program.
- Some of the program file has been deleted mistakenly.
- Related registry entries of the program has been corrupted.
- Your computer has been infected by virus and the system is not function properly.
