I have recently (as of 24 hours) began experiencing high CPU usage,so i opened Task Manger,the program "hpqtra08.exe" in task manager is taking up about 50% of the CPU usage.when i disable that program cpu comes in normal state,is there some way to fix it so it stops using 50% of my CPU or more for no apparent reason?

hi,
hpqtra08.exe is installed alongside the drivers for Hewlett Packard Imaging devices and installs an easy-to-use traybar icon for quick access to diagnostics. This is a non-essential process.Disabling or enabling it is down to user preference.

The hpqtra08.exe process provides you with a system tray icon that assists when diagnosing problems with your Hewlett Packard scanner (or other imaging device). If you do not find it useful, you can disable this process. If you do not have a Hewlett Packard scanner attached to your computer this process should be removed.

hpqtra08.exe is flagged as a system process and does not appear to be a security risk. However, removing Hewlett Packard Tray (08) may adversly impact your system.
