You want to know what HP Support Solutions Framework is, how necessary it is, and whether it’s a good idea to remove it.

The experience gets more aggravating when you realize that this intruder takes a big chunk of your CPU, dropping off other apps you need more.

GPEDIT applies these policies even if the "path and process lists" appear as "Not Configured".You’re doing a serious task on your PC when HP Support Solutions Framework distracts you, popping up without permission and asking you to tick its list of requests. You can pass this along the food chain: every time you push a customer out of the door, there are no further sales …Ĭonclusion: use GPEDIT to disable the local policy: Total: 9 hours wasted on this issue because HP can’t “get it right”.

In the case at hand, only Windows Defender is running immediately before this “HP Wolf Security” is installed.Īs a temporary bypass, all HP software related to “Wolf” must be uninstalled first. The Bromium utility responsible for this mess is “Br-uxendm.exe”: its actual strategy depend on the antivirus program in use. (The situation is much worst than that: about 39 executables can be impersonated and there are “Bromium” directories for each user on the workstation…) When uninstalling this “HP Wolf Security” software from a freshly installed HP PC, these directoriesĪre left unprotected because the setting s modified by “Br-uxendm.exe” are not undone: this was not part of the “installation” procedure and it not part of the uninstall. It also refers to another article "Controller Management Action: Sure Click Enterprise has not been added to the Windows Defender exclusions ()" ( ) where you can learn this executable modifies a Microsoft group policy. Section 2.1 list the executable responsible for adding these exclusions and has this bit of warning “When installed, Sure Click Enterprise will automatically attempt to add exclusions for the following files and directories into Windows Defender…” Sure enough, section 1 of this article lists all the files and folder exclusions that we can see in Windows Defender Settings but can’t remove after this “HP Wolf Security” is uninstalled.

"Configure Exclusions and Whitelisting for Third-Party Security Software ()" ( ) In fact, they are greyed out in the exclusion lists and cannot be removed manually.Īfter six hours of googling around, I finally found this article on the exclusions added by HP’s bloatware : | Where-Object Ĭare must be taken to remove exclusions inserted in Windows Defender by "HP Wolf Security": these exclusions are NOT removed by the uninstall process. $InstalledPackages = Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers ` "HP Wolf Security Application Support for Windows " "HP Wolf Security Application Support for Sure Sense " $UninstallPrograms = Client Security Manager " "AD2F1837.HPPCHardwareDiagnosticsWindows " # - todo : Wolf Security improvements ref: # - note : this script could use your improvements. # - contrib: francishagyard2, mark05E, erottier, JoachimBerghmans, sikkepitje
