Windows Process Description:
The hpscanfix.exe process filename by Hewlett Packard is a process filename that is part of the Hewlett Packard Scan Patch software. The hpscanfix.exe process was created and designed by Hewlett Packard Company to automatically fix all detected earlier versions of the installed Scan Jet 5100c software. The hpscanfix.exe is considered a patch application process that resolves errors and issues related to the specific installed software for the Hewlett Packard Scan Jet series and its versions. If a Hewlett Packard Scan Jet 5100c scanner is not being used or should there be no plans of using the said device, then presumably the said software for the device will also not be installed. In this case, the hpscanfix.exe process is not necessarily needed to run in the computer startup or in any way at all. However, should there be plans of using a Hewlett Packard 5100c scanner, or if it is already currently being used, then it is highly recommended that the hpscanfix.exe process remain in the installed process lists or in startup for the Windows Operating System. The hpscanfix.exe should be able to effectively resolve software issues concerning the software for the Hewlett Packard 5100c scanner and should be left alone to continue to automatically fix issues. Disabling the hpscanfix.exe process might bring out problems or errors while the software for the Hewlett Packard 5100c scanner is running or also while the actual device is running.
But in the event that the hpscanfix.exe process will be removed by the user as preference, it is not going to be a harm to the computer system since the hpscanfix.exe process is not a windows process and is not a critical component of the windows Operating System. Disabling it when a Hewlett Packard 5100c scanner is not being used will not affect the overall performance and status of the computer. Also, this will help free up used system and memory resources.
