There are hell lot of services and programs which comes pre-installed and keep on using crucial system resources like RAM and CPU usage on hp laptops.
But I can never allow any useless service to keep on running in the background and using my systems resources, most of the programs which comes pre-installed on your hp laptop slow down the over all speed.
I have been using a hp tx1000 series laptop which has preloaded Vista Home Premium and a amd 64 bit processor, and it is the fastest laptop in the world. 😛 From today onwards I will keep on posting about how to speed up your hp laptop.
Let’s come to point, one such service on hp laptops is HP Health Check Service
What is HP Health Check Service?
HP Health Check service, comes with HP laptops from factory and is not needed to run the system better.
How to disable this service?
1. Open Start >> Run and type Services.msc and press Enter
2. Scroll Down and Locate HP Health Check Service and right click and select Properties
3. Click Stop button and Select Disabled from the Startup type drop down.
4. Click Ok and close services.
Note: Even after doing all this, you should also check Scheduled Tasks in windows xp and Task Scheduler under administrative tools in vista, and delete any entry there corresponding to HP Health Check
Stay tuned, we will come up with more tweak to tweak your hp laptops, or if you found any useless service or program in your hp laptop but do not know how to remove it, let us know.

Health check was done one time on my HP laptop when I had kept on for downloading. Good way to stop it, but I dont think it runs frequently.
@Nirmal – ya, it runs frequently as the service is set to be run automatically.
I made a recovery DVD disk for my HP tx1000, by using the recovery disk manager. I lost those DVDs, when I tried to make two more recovery DVDs it won’t let me, it tells me that only one set is allowed. How can I solve this problem?
Thanks for this… HP health check has always been annoying, but in the past month or so it had added a new trick: BSOD production every damn time it tried to run. So very glad to have this crap turned off.
Did this myself without checking this site. But just had HPHC run on my machine now.
Bloody HP and their bloatware. What *is* causing this to run?!
Dear Folks,
I just received an HP health check offer. I was a little suspicious because it says my computer health is POOR – But everything seemed to be ok except they wanted to uninstall one botton and install a new program. Is there any history on this ?????
Thanks
It looks very offical but doesn’t seem to have everything connected and responding as a web page.
so i disabled hp health check through the process described above, but the thing STILL runs as scheduled. any way that i can absolutely get rid of this program?
@jet – If you remove it from Scheduled task it will be gone permanently, thanks for telling abt this one more place where this process hides itself 🙂
I did all of this and it still pops up on my machine every couple of days. There is no scheduled task either. Now what?
horrible little prog kept freezing up my laptop.I thought I uninstalled it a week ago but today it reared its’ ugly little head again.I have windows vista.Hopefully I’ve just sorted the problem.Click ‘start’ ,scroll down to HP folder,click and then click on ‘hp health check’ then click ‘run as administrator’.Click on settings on simply disable the automatic scan (which is of course recommended).Fingers crossed this should do the job
