Important information: Your antivirus may be related to the high memory consumption of the HP Hotkey UWP

It is possible that a virus or malware is interfering with the HP HotKey UWP service. This may be resulting in high CPU and memory consumption on your PC. To resolve this problem, you must check your antivirus and if it finds something, it must be corrected.

Still in relation to high memory consumption, if you have commercial equipment and even after the previous steps this issue has not been resolved, I will leave two links that could be very useful:
