    We have added allegedly to your thread title as there is no response/confirmation from HP or the driver creator yet

    Actually there is a link at the end of the text to a page where HP confirms the issue, I was assuming that people saw that, but here it is then:

    It says fixes have been released by Microsoft so it's mostly a warning for those who turn off or postpone Windows updates, now that the secret is out there may be some who'll try to exploit it.

    The Microsoft update for 2015 models was first and the 2016 models the day after so checking for updates should download the proper updated driver.
