W11 Update Install Error - Hewlett-Packard - USB - 4/8/2019 12:00:00 AM - 1.0.0.237

There is no permanent fix and likely never will be! What I did to get around it and get all of my client pcs fully updated including ALL optional and driver updates was the following.

1 - disconnect any usb hp printer from pc

2 - uninstall driver in printers and devices

3 - restart pc

4 - run updates and you notice no issues with hp driver

5 - shut pc down

6 - connect hp printer usb cable

7 - repower and verify printer reinstalled

You are brilliant! you just repeated the same worthless useless babble that's in this thread 100 times! wow you must be a tech giant! READ MY LIPS! THIS FIX IS NITHING BUT A TEMPORARY HIDER! Are you listening? have you read any of the posts here? are you clueless or a wanna be techie? Pat yourself on the back for wasting our time! The real fix needs to be done by HP! NOT YOU!

This has literally been a problem for 7+ years. They're not going to fix it. Even if they fix this particular one, it's just going to happen again with a different version of the driver like it has in the past (multiple times apparently). As far as I'm concerned, only having to run a few commands once a year is "permanent" enough.

And why are you acting like this is my fault , I've had the same exact problem ever since I bought this printer ages ago 💀

Hi D_W_L,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

There are many people reporting that driver update in the last few days, that HP diver update if from 2019, that is not required on your PC, it is a known bug that it is appearing on your updates page in the settings app.

You can use the Microsoft Show/Hide Tool to hide that update to stop Windows trying to install that driver.

What to do? It comes always back!

Also with using 'wushowhide.diagcab

It is a HP usb printer driver.

There is a bug that computers without hp printers got installed with HP printer drivers and HP print smart app.
