Pop up: "Windows Firewall has Blocked Some Features of the Scheduler Console"

Anonymous

This small window appeared suddenly on my screen as I began to type a Gmail.

I haven't the foggiest what it means.

Below the above notification:

"Path: C:\program files (86)\hp\diagonostics\telemetrywatch\psdrtelemetrywatch.exe"

Allow Scheduler Console to communicate on these networks

Option boxes were: 1. (checked) Private Networks, such as my home or work network.

                             2. (blank) Public Networks such as airports or coffee houses not recommended.

                                  Choices to check:   Allow   or   Cancel

option has a check mark in it. What am I expected to do with this notification?

All I did was power on my HP desktop PC and open Gmail to type an outgoing email. Advice???

Hi again Klaro,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

You can safely allow that task, that is part of a HP diagnostics utility that is installed on your PC, it is not any harm and will not cause any system instability.

Thanks to you again, Dave, another issue solved! As you already know, my understanding of Computerese language makes it difficult to actually figure out what the technical words are trying to explain to me. I speak 7 other languages, just not PC! Thanks
