And I have stumbled into this 'HP Connection Manager' problem as many others before:

My problem is that Windows 10 upgrade recognized the 'HP Connection Manager' (and its sub-components) as in-compatible with Windows 10 and disabled them in the update process.
I thought, fine with me, never needed that program anyway, But it turns out that I used it each time I accessed the Internet through the WiFi :-)
Anyway, I figured out a way to have a quick solution by following the workflow as quoted below from the HP forum page.
My WiFi is working now but I keep getting an error message 'HP Connection Manager Service not installed' and I am wondering if someone at Microsoft can recommend a better solution to this problem.
What does it mean if I have to run the 'Gobi 2000 driver' in 'Windows 7' compatibility mode? Is there a way to run this in Windows 10 mode?
Is it true that Windows 10 no longer requires the HP Connection Manager and its sub-components? What is the recommended Microsoft way to handle this situation?
Thanks a lot for any helpful hints :-)

Guys,
I had the same problem but solved it. Some of the help came from “hungdq3” post but I just added the missing instruction and done it differently.
