Obviously all those can not fail together, just a fluke and nothing is wrong with the hardware
Release Static charge and run the test again : disconnect charger while powered on and hold the power button down for 30 seconds, keep holding it even after it powers off. Run the test again,
else reinstall support.

Don't run Support Assist on a brand new computer. Ignore that message.

6. Once the services are deleted, check if the following folders remain. If they remain, delete them:
Folder: "C:\ProgramData\PCDr\"
Folder: "C:\ProgramData\SupportAssist"
Delete, Rename or drag the DellDataVault folder to the desktop, you will not be able to delete it: "C:\Program Files\Dell\DellDataVault"
7. Reboot the system and install the Support Assist application.

get the same thing dell told me I was the only one with this problem. Dell support has been working on this for a month now. Today they had the highest support team try and fix it. After repeatedly for a month now telling me it is not my computer. That is an application error. I get told today that it is a dll issue and that the only way to fix it is a reinstall refresh. i said absolutely not . But it appears that I am not the only one after all. I ay as well just totally uninstall support assist . I just do not like to e told one thing and be assured it is the support assist app and then today i need to re install the operating system. Yet i run a hardware test from another app and it passes . it could be fixed and not be told i need to reinstall the operating system I said absolutely no and lose everything

evidently Dell has no response and no real cure for this problem except to use their standard answer when they have no clue. Reinstall the operating system. Is it at all possible that whomever set this version up could have caused this. I have run multiple hardware tests from other sources and it always passes so installing the operating system is not an option they claim it is a dll error then why did ckh disk and fsc scan now not catch it or dism

Hi,
I'm Joe, one of the Supervisors at Dell Social Media Support. I was reviewing this case and I wanted to check if everything is on track. I see that the case was unresolved. We see you were having trouble with the SupportAssist. As part of our standard protocol, we often request our users to proceed with an OS reinstallation in order to make sure we have a clean environment in which the application can work itself into. For these cases we suggest keeping a backup of your files on an external hard drive or cloud service. However, you also mentioned the reason you had that application installed was to get ahold of us. But rest assured. We can help out via this forum and we can try other methods of troubleshooting should the need of it arises, via Whatsapp, Facebook or even Twitter. Our resolution experts will be more than happy to assist you. Should you need anything else. please let us know.
We'll go ahead and temporarily archive this ticket. If you need any further assistance, feel free to reach out to us, and we'll be glad to assist you. Here is the reference number for our conversation: 120353015.
Thanks for your time and patience with us.
Regards,
Joe W.

so you want me to reinstall the entire operating system just because the hard ware scan fails. That is just not the answer i want. and seems awfully harsh just for one application
