I keep getting a popup from HP Smart UAC, asking me if I want it to make changes to my Windows 11 system, i.e. installing. I always click 'no'.

I do not have an HP printer installed. Never did. I have never even owned a printer from HP. I search for 'hp' on my system and get no results (oops, I didn't search from top level, i.e. C: - trying that now). So how am I getting this popup? The advice I found so far suggests deleting certain files - which I don't have! Or disabling a service - one which isn't running!

Any ideas? The only thing I can think of is to wait until it happens again, run Task Manager to see what's running and disable it!
