Is the setting to allow apps to access your location 'ON' or is it set to checking the broker process 'Allow apps to access your notifications' Please check to see how the following is set: There is a companion process that runs with apps from the Microsoft store that provides a running check on apps from the store to make sure they are meeting security, they are really 'from the store', notifications (accessing, not changing them) the broker provides other checks important to Microsoft Windows file system. Have you recently locked up the permissions in Settings > Privacy ?

Have you changed any of your Windows Privacy permissions recently? I do have a question - which may or may not be related to well, anything.

I do not have the issue you describe (which means nothing, of course).

I do have HP Smart installed - (at this writing): version 105.1.618.0.

I do have the Full Feature Software installed.

But the HP not-so-Smart app still I don't have a fix - the issue you mention has been reported to our group by one of our colleagues. Note that this morning I found and installed the standard Windows apps and they work fine. I don't have time to sit on hold waiting for tech support. I clearly stated the issue at the start, and after 30 minutes of worthless responses the final conclusion was that I have a problem with the HP Smart application and should call tech support. Re-installing the app after making sure that windows was up to date and my PC was restarted. Making sure that I have all the newest Windows updates installed.

From that point on, no matter what I've done, the app crashes every time I start it.

I installed and ran the HP Smart application and created a 'Smart Task' and then closed the app. I purchased an OfficeJet Pro 9025 two days ago and set it up.
