Every time my desktop freezes, I notice that "HP Active Health" is working in "Task Manager". I don't know if "Active Health" is working to solve the freeze problem, or if it's causing the freeze. All I can do is wait, and after a few minutes everything is working fine, and "Active Health" disappears from "Task Manager".

I have the same issue. There was an HP update and this issue began to occur on my system. I have done some investigation and this seems to be the issue. Please tell me how to disable.

The same here (Win 10). I notice that disk activity goes to 100% and goes forever (more than I can wait). To stop it I use Task Manager/Details to kill ActiveHealth.exe. The only HP device in my setup is HP OfficeJet Printer. I really don't nee HP to check my system. How to prevent this feature before it kicks?

I have same issue with a Win 7 system. I will probably remove anything that has HP Support in the name from the system.

The last fix on 12/27-28 was the culprit. No direct response from HP. I removed all things HP and the problem cleared. there is also a huge drop in system processing overhead.
