For whatever reason, there is no simple way of uninstalling HPHC from your laptop. Which means that HPHC and its shortcut will stay on your Start > All Programs > HP folder.The simplest way to stop it from popping on clicking ctrl+shft+C is to go to Start > All Programs > HP, locate HP Health Check, right click on it, select Properties and on Shortcut tab delete the contents of Shortcut key textbox! Voila! That got rid of the annoying pop-up. As for stopping the service COMPLETELY, there is another set of steps that needs to be completed:Type msconfig in your Run command window. Check Selective Startup. Then on the start tab scroll down to find HP Health Check and uncheck the box.You will have to reboot your system for the changes to take effect.Hope it works for all!BABS Hi JP,

I found a quick solution to my own problem which you may like to add to your blog. For whatever reason, there is no simple way of uninstalling HPHC from your laptop. Which means that HPHC and its shortcut will stay on your Start > All Programs > HP folder.

As for stopping the service COMPLETELY, there is another set of steps that needs to be completed:

Type msconfig in your Run command window.
Check Selective Startup.
Then on the start tab scroll down to find HP Health Check and uncheck the box.

You will have to reboot your system for the changes to take effect.

Hope it works for all!

However, it doesn't seem to work for me. I have an HP6830 and Windows Vista Home-32 Pro. Although, I can see "HP Health Check Service" disabled in services, on pressing ctrl+shft+C (which is copy formatting shortcut in MS Word) HP Health Check still pops up like an adamant jack-in-the-box. Its really getting on my nerves! And its surprising that HP is not replying to my queries and has no options to disable HPHC or change the shortcut! Any other tips? Thanks, BABS Hi JP,

Sometimes my Vista just slows down from out of the blue. I knew it had to be something automatic, but since I am just a plain user, all I could do was checking what was running on my laptop: when I found HP Health Check, whose schedule I certainly have never set, I began to wonder. When I googled "hp health check", yours was the 7th in the list, but the first one to be of help! You may add the expression "get rid of" to your post, so that others may find you even more easily.

Then restart your computer. That should fix it. If not, then maybe you have done something that messed up your computer's configuration or have a third party program that disabled it. Btw, what version of Windows are you running on?</p> @ron – Just follow the same steps and instead of disabling it, you enable the HP Health Check Service. Then restart your computer.
