Customers have been reporting this issue since last week on the Microsoft community website and on online social networks.
According to these reports, the HP Smart App is automatically installed on some Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices via the Microsoft Store, even though users don't own or use an HP printer or an HP computer.
While initially, some users thought that their systems had been compromised, Microsoft has now confirmed that this is a known issue affecting both client (Windows 10 1809 or later) and server (Windows Server 2012 or later) platforms
