Users reported finding this app in the Start menu even on non-HP devices. This unexpected installation caused confusion and anxiety among Windows users.
Microsoft is currently investigating the issue and plans to provide more details soon.
Although HP Smart is a legitimate and harmless application designed for HP printers, its sudden appearance on systems that are not associated with HP devices is alarming. If you’re affected, you can manually uninstall HP Smart by right-clicking the app in the Start menu and selecting Uninstall.
