Sorry. Forgot. That was more than 24 hours ago and on another page. I can barely remember what I had for dinner last night. When you get as old as I am, you'll find out what fun it is to get as old as I am.
The instructions in the address, above, tell you to go to “Control Panel”, find the program and delete it. HPTouchpointAnalytics are not listed, It looks to me like HP knows my computer address and every now and then dumps all this junk on my hard drive. I watch for this with “Hitman Pro” and delete the files when they are detected. I would like to block them, but don’t know how. When HP downloads all this junk, there are nearly 150 files.

I know this is old, but I have finally gotten around to writing this script
HP Touchpoint Analytics is installed without your knowledge as a Windows Update Driver
If you uninstall all the HP bloatware, and have nothing else left in your Apps and Features
It will download from Windows Update, you have to block the specific driver installs
Also if you are not sure how fast this will go, disconnect from the internet before you run the script

DevManView can be found at Nirsoft or if you are just doing one machine, view the hidden devices in Device Manager and delete it under system devices
If anyone finds errors or omissions please let me know
This is from a HP 800 G6 on a VM
Hello @RNR1995,
VERY nice work indeed.
It is also worth mentioning, for others that come across this thread, that it is advised to backup ALL drivers FIRST, as per this Tutorial, OR, create aSystem Image
, just in case.

Ok, But the section about Pnputil deleting drivers, If I would run this command on my computer It would remove My V-Box drivers and Virtual clone drive also...
It would be a good thing to search trough the OEM.inf files to find the one used
And delete only this one.Code:dism /Online /get-drivers /format:list > %HomePath%\Desktop\drivers.txt
