Hi all,
I've been using jkraycfgi's version for a while now, I prep most days for a plant, all good but I have a new additional :
ProgramData\HP\TAInstaller\HPInsights.msi_5.23.34\HPInsights.msi
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\735A8C853A8C6074ABB21EC7D4BE345B
I could not find an Uninstall String in the Reg and when I ran it off Programs and Features, I did not catch anything other than a MsiExec process.
Anyone has a line to add to beloved Remove-HPbloatware-beta ?
Oh boy...
Hi guys, the firm I work for was with Dell before... a few months ago they got signed by HP... that's why I'm here. My DELLs had no garbage runing on them.
Getting everything off these HPs is such a chore.
After the script, jkraycfgi's version, even after running djsvi's "for handling the aggressively persistent HP spyware services" from the before last comment on mark05E's original Remove-HPbloatware.ps1... I still have a lot of garbage left.
I'm at work... ssomething somewhere is effing up my graphic. Will try from home later.
Looking for someone to help implement the function based on comment by CasperStekelenburg
I'd try searching the registry for the uninstallstring or IdentifyingNumber.
I'd search in "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" or "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"Source: Remove-HPbloatware.ps1 comment

Nice code @CasperStekelenburg, thanks for puting it up.
I can thinker with lines but I don't do enough scripting to know how to add the lines that would either send it to the con or open and fill a file up with its finding.
Thank You all.
In addition to the comments made by @CasperStekelenburg, performing "Get-WmiObject win32_product" is bad, because it is very slow and (worse still) it could trigger reinstallation of packages, which is bad.
I get OK results getting similar information using the below function, BUT this produces a list of all installed software, even when it was installed by some other method than MSI. Also attributes have different names and are not in 1:1 relation to list returned by GWMI win32_product. Returned data needs processing to get the same results. To name a few: $product.Identifyingnumber could be extracted fom PSChildName. When UninstallString contains Msiexec , it often has a /I parameter to it , so it really some kind of install string. So to sum up: useful, but needs work.
Function Get-InstalledSoftware64 {
@(Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*") + `
@(Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*") `
| Sort-Object DisplayName `
| Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion, PSChildName, Publisher, UninstallString, InstallDate `
| Where-Object {$_.DisplayName.Length -gt 0}
}
BTW , you did great work so far !!!
Anyone knows what the "Sweet F U" service is for ?
In the comments for the non-beta version of this gist, someone contributed some code which has the comment:
# At this stage the only 'HP Inc.' driver we want to keep is HPSFU, used for firmware servicing.
Anyone knows what the "Sweet F U" service is for ?
AFAIK it's part of the HP Support Assistant.
Specifically it's the HP Support Assistant Updater which checks for new driver and firmware updates, downloads and installs them.
If you like to use HP Support Assistant i think you can't avoid this service since it may stop working otherwhise.
I've been using jkraycfgi's version for a while now, I prep most days for a plant, all good but I have a new additional :
ProgramData\HP\TAInstaller\HPInsights.msi_5.23.34\HPInsights.msi
HP Insights is of the most stubborn bloatware (i even consider it "spyware") i have ever encountered from a manufacturer.
If you uninstall it via the Control Panel or the .msi, you will have it again after some time, as those mofo-components reinstall themselves.
(May the developer responsible for this at HP be struck by lightning while shi*****).
To get permanently rid of it you will need to stop, and afterwards delete a bunch of services to prevent it from getting reinstalled.

Hi All,
Does anyone have their most recent script they could share that gets rid of the above and be deployed via Intune? We are moving to HP devices and there is so much bloatware on them, want an automated script that can be deploy to the devices as they register to Intune? Poly Lens also seems to be another new software that comes with the devices we are getting.
Or is this still the best one to use at present?
Hello Mark [@mark05e] and everyone,
We have been using the original script with success as needed but after we have been having HP units boot to a 'User Profile Service failed to start' upon login. Some research is showing that 'MyHP' application on the units are causing the profile login issues so we decided to revisit the script to make sure we officially get all the HP junk off of our devices.
I compiled a mix of the changes above to the original script and I am having luck with the below running remotely with a successful completion, but not total removal of all the HP software.
I get some errors on the "HP Wolf Security - Console" and "HP Security Update Service" program. It seems the script below is having some issues pulling those specific modules and they are dependent on each other. Are there any services associated that may need to be ended first?

I have tested this script from Intune Remediation for HP wolf products and it worked:
$HPWolfSecurity = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "HP Wolf Security" }
if ($HPWolfSecurity) {
$HPWolfSecurity.Uninstall()
Start-Sleep -Seconds 2
}
$HPWolfSecurityConsole = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "HP Wolf Security - Console" }
if ($HPWolfSecurityConsole) {
$HPWolfSecurityConsole.Uninstall()
Start-Sleep -Seconds 2
}
Get-Service -DisplayName "HP Security Update Service" | Stop-Service
$HPSecurityUpdateService = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "HP Security Update Service" }
if ($HPSecurityUpdateService) {
$HPSecurityUpdateService.Uninstall()
Start-Sleep -Seconds 2
}
Hi, I applied clean coding to the script. Hope this helps and makes the script more professional.

Hi @xxIPREDATORIxx, I placed my own version here: https://github.com/IntuneSpecialist/Intune/tree/main/Powershell%20scripts. Its the same version as I mentioned above but since they never responded I descided to place my own version there.
thanks will give these suggestions a try, really appreciate the help

I had some problems on some PCs after running this script
This is the result of the script:

have you had other cases?
@Leonarduk00 that is very strange, I run it on 100+ machines without any problems. What kind of error does the user get when the user tries to login?
@foeyonghai Nothing !!! Either the system goes to a black screen, or it remains in the initial loading, blue screen and sometimes I can log in and in the system events there are countless errors. The PC has Windows 10 Pro and it has been operational for a few years, I wouldn't want it to be a problem with HP or system software updates.
The few times I manage to log in if I try to start the Windows 11 update it gives me an error 0x80070002
The event log is:

@Leonarduk00, did you run this with user permissions or admin permissions? I deployed this script always with SYSTEM permissions by Intune. Need to admit that I never tested or used it with user permissions. If is ran as a user I think that this could(must) be blocked in the script.
Yet another "i'm here as a regular user, i tried the one from the original git and my PC's still freezing regularly, is there a latest script that I won't be running with Intune" post. I really want everything HP stripped away from my Z2's and I'm wondering what is the best version of the script to run.
Also along with all this BS, did you guys notice that out of the box, there's a Defender blanket exclusion for the entire HP folder that's not user-deleteable? Absolute fricken madness. I'm definitely returning to Lenovo for my next workstations - I wanted off a Chinese based company, and this is how a US based one treats me. Insane.
Hi @xxIPREDATORIxx, I placed my own version here: https://github.com/IntuneSpecialist/Intune/tree/main/Powershell%20scripts. Its the same version as I mentioned above but since they never responded I descided to place my own version there.
Thanks for that, its working quite well. I'm having a problem with it trying to uninstall HP Security Update Service before Wolf Security - Console which is causing it to not uninstall on first run
Hello can you please add these to the list, they run as a local account and keep coming back
- HP App Helper HSA Service
- HP Network HSA Service
- HP System Info HSA Service
- HP Analytics Service
Got to say, this is the most frustrating refresh rollout I've ever had, I've tried some of these scripts thus far, but got to say, the wolf security side of things is the worst :(
@foeyonghai did you run the script via intune remediations or just a basic script?
Hello can you please add these to the list, they run as a local account and keep coming back

Hi @weedkiller, will look at it, you'll hear from me.
@foeyonghai did you run the script via intune remediations or just a basic script?
Hi! @funk0id
I run this as a Powershell script in Intune with the settings below. I think I need to clarify some of these details, good question from your side.
PowerShell script
DeleteHPBloatware.ps1
Run this script using the logged on credentials
No
Enforce script signature check
No
Run script in 64 bit PowerShell Host
Yes
I managed to get it going with remediations too thanks @foeyonghai and others that have contributed.
I've not done a manual run of it to see what's going on but I've still ended up with the following remaining in add remove programs and services...
Add remove programs...
HP Connection Optimizer
HP Documentation
Z by HP Data Science Stack Manager 1.5.3
Services...
HP App Helper HSA Service
HP Comm Recovery
HP Diagnostics and HSA Service
HP Hotkey UWP Service
HP Insights Analytics
HP LAN/WLAN.WWAN Switching UWP Service
HP Network HSA Service
HP SFU Service
HP System info HSA Service
(Edit - Note this is with a fresh batch of G11 devices that shipped a couple of weeks ago)
(Edit 2 - I've just added the Z by HP one to the list too, hadn't noticed that)
Hi @funk0id, thank you for the information! Is it W10 of W11 by the way? I think it shouldn't really matter but just to be sure. Maybe I can search on the internet for an image for those machines and see what happens.
Services...
Try this. They're installed as drivers apparently
# List of service names
$services = @(
"HpTouchpointAnalyticsService",
"HPSysInfoCap",
"HPOmenCap",
"HPOmenCap",
"HPDiagsCap",
"HPAppHelperCap",
"HPNetworkCap"
)
foreach ($service in $services) {
try {
# Check if the service exists
$serviceExists = Get-Service -Name $service -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if ($serviceExists) {
# Stop the service
Write-Host "Stopping service: $service"
Stop-Service -Name $service -ErrorAction Stop
# Set service startup type to Disabled
Write-Host "Disabling service: $service"
Set-Service -Name $service -StartupType Disabled -ErrorAction Stop
# Delete the service using sc.exe
Write-Host "Deleting service: $service"

}
else {

Write-Host "Error occurred with service: $service. Error: $_"

Hello Mark [@mark05e] and everyone,
We have been using the original script with success as needed but after we have been having HP units boot to a 'User Profile Service failed to start' upon login. Some research is showing that 'MyHP' application on the units are causing the profile login issues so we decided to revisit the script to make sure we officially get all the HP junk off of our devices.
I compiled a mix of the changes above to the original script and I am having luck with the below running remotely with a successful completion, but not total removal of all the HP software.
I get some errors on the "HP Wolf Security - Console" and "HP Security Update Service" program. It seems the script below is having some issues pulling those specific modules and they are dependent on each other. Are there any services associated that may need to be ended first?
