<div><h2>A Tip</h2></div>
</div><div>
<div>A nice way to keep unwanted installs from worming their way into your systems, compliments of fshannon3:
I recently added a line to our setup script to disable those “silent” installs from the MS store via reg key…I did this well before HP Smart started this nonsense. It was done because we’d remove some of the other junk apps, and after a reboot or two, they’d get automatically reinstalled.
I changed the registry key on my PC and I do not have that HP Smart app on it.
EDIT TO INCLUDE REGISTRY KEY:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager
Set the SilentInstalledAppsEnabled DWORD value to 0 (zero)
