HP Analytics Native App Liberator is a script that stops and remove HP Analytics, a forcefully preinstalled Windows software on HP computers. In addition to occupying unnecessary memory space, these programs can collect user information, behaviors, network captures, and an array of data under the guise of providing better user service. HP does not provide any valid means to disable or uninstall these services, and the files are protected under SYSTEM ownership, preventing users from deleting everything without first changing the permissions for each file. Many users have attempted to uninstall these programs on their own, only to encounter various issues or find that the program reactivates automatically. It is unfair to force user to install this on your PC, especially if it's for the purpose of obtaining data. It is unethical for HP to impose significant obstacles when it comes to uninstalling their software from YOUR computer.

How it works

This script deactivates all running HP services, locates the software installation folder, changes permissions to the local user, and subsequently deletes all installed files.

How I run it

Simply download .bat file, right-click and run as admin, and then simply follow the program instructions.
