How do I stop HP from opening system information? [duplicate]

Option 1(delete HPSysInfo.exe):

  1. Delete "C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\HP Hotkey Support\HPSysInfo.exe"

  2. Try ctrl+alt+s, a window will pop up asking if you want to remove "ctrl+alt+s" shortcut key, just click yes.

Option 2(avoid deleting HPSysInfo.exe):

  1. 7-Zip HPSysInfo.exe to a place of you choice, and delete the original HPSysInfo.exe

  2. Try ctrl+alt+s, a window will pop up asking if you want to remove "ctrl+alt+s" shortcut key, just click yes.

  3. Now you can either unzip HPSysInfo.exe and copy it back to its original directory or do nothing.


Very annoying!

The thing is that the shortcut to the HPSysInfo lives in Windows Start Menu, and its configuration includes a shortcut key.

Basically you can just

  1. Search for "HP System Information" item in the start menu.
  2. Do "Open File Location" over this item (right mouse button click).
  3. Get Properties of the shortcut.
  4. Remove Shortcut Key by pressing Del or Backspace and save that shortcut.
