I had the same problem a couple of times on my Alienware Aurora R 13, its not a desktop related, its a program issue , maybe closed while doing run or something else.

You might un-install support assist, reboot and install program again.

There aint no freaky creepy dilemma since the is only 1 supportassist in Config Windows ^^

Un-install, reboot and go to dell website or Alienware update stand alone program and re-install support assist again, make sure you run properly the program, never close it. and do nothing while run program

OK, here's a bit of dilemma.  There are several Dell programs installed.  Which of these do I uninstall?

This is the driver that  SupportAssist if it tries to download and install:

 

Systems Management / Dell Command /  Update Windows Universal Application  (Version 4.6.0)

Its a Command...no big deal. Install again, when you face the same problems i strongly advise to contact DELL- Cares.

i had the same problems, and they are solved after a reinstall.

I've re-installed SupportAssist twice now.  And each time I try to download and install the Command Update, it hangs up SupportAssist again.  Now I have SupportAssist re-installed (again) and I'm not attempting to download the Command Update.
