Removal of hpwuschd2.exe

pgettis · 10-30-2009, 09:48 AM

I installed HP printer software on my comp. A file called hpwuschd2.exe seems to be impossible to remove and was causing problems with my start up and shutdowns.

I have stopped it from interfering with startups by stopping the startup through MSCONFIG, but I can't remove the file as it won't delete through Add or remove programs or through manual removal in the C:/ program files.

Any ideas for files that don't seem to want to go away?

Do you still have the HP disk software. Please insert the disk software, open the disk and look for a folder name UTIL/CCC/ look for a file name Uninstall_L2.bat and follow the steps. After the procedure, do not restart your computer and put a check mark on the check box that says Restart my computer later. Do the same with Uninstall_L3.bat and Uninstall_L4.bat Finish all Level 2 3 and 4 uninstallation to remove all hp files and restart the computer. That should remove the file.
