How to launch Dell supportassist program

Question

I have Dell supportassist installed but I never used it. Today though I started my PC and it automatically launched and told me I have drivers available for update and I opened Chrome to google some of the drivers to see if I need them and once I minimized the browser Supportassist app was gone. Now I can't find how to launch it, it doesn't show up in windows search, I found the installation folder but there isn't icon to launch it either, so what's the deal with this program ?

Have you tried downloading and installing it from the dell support website?

It's in your start menu. If not, try uninstalling and reinstalling it.

But I already have it installed, I can see it in 'Uninstall a program' in control panel. Just don't know how to launch it.

It no longer shows up in the Windows start menu. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Still nada. Very mysterious.

I have run it before, but for some reason I have now having the same issue. it's installed, I just can't get it to run. I'll have to say SupportAssist is a problem in itself. It was the source of page faults that were causing my system to crash. Now it won't run.

In Windows 10, click on the search icon next to the Start Menu button, then search for SupportAssist.  From there you can run it and/or right-click on it and choose 'Pin to Start'.
