SA, latest version not working
I downloaded the latest version of SA (Support Assist) (Version 2) a few days ago.When I try to open it, it tries to load but won't load properly (icon just continues to flash and flash), with a message that optimization tools are loading.
The same problem occurs when I try to open it as administrator. There is no option to repair this app when I go to Settings. The only 2 options are "modify" or "uninstall"
This new version of Support Assist is installed on both my XPS 8930.
Is any body else having a problem with this latest version? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Am very happy to hear that a new version of Support Assist is being released. I do hope that it resolves all the issues since it has been over 4 months since my initial post.
The software appears to be a great tool so let's hope that this version works as it should!

I see that no one has this issue resolved. I had the latest version installed and after a windows update it no longer loads. I uninstalled and reinstalled and on the reinstall it says that the internet connection is lost and the install was cancelled. I checked the security settings and that is not the issue. I see one person says the issue has persisted for 4 months with no resolution, what now?

I have the latest version installed and the Windows Apps crashes even though the program works if launched manually (running SupportAssistUI.exe launch); i tries uninstalling/reinstalling, no change.
Error message (in French) :
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps \.....\SupportAssistAppWire.exe
La zone de données passée à un appel système est insuffisante
Running Windows10Pro x64
Thanks

Hi gpicker,
We have one open issue with Windows 10 OS version 1803 RS4 where SupportAssist is not getting installed and we are working with Windows team on this issue.
Can you let me know the SupportAssist version which you are trying to install and your installed OS version.
Thanks

I also have the same problem on an XPS 2720 desktop. I cannot understand why Dell hasn't released a fix for this problem since many people seem to have it, and all of the suggested fixes that are listed here--including uninstalling and re-installing--have not worked.

I have the same issue, have the latest version of Win10, checked my security level and it's correct, but my error message says one thing that nobody else has mentioned, which is "Invalid value for registry". I am proficient with the registry editor, so if someone can tell me what the correct value for this entry is, I can fix my issue.
My complete error message is:
dell-supportassist:?launch/Action=ScheduleScanConfirm/Mode=Normal
Invalid value for registry

I have the same issues as CHW_2015.
Two days ago I tried to run SA only to find there was no longer a shortcut on my desktop nor in the Start menu.
When I checked Programs & Features I learned that v3.0.1.62 was installed on 10/2/2018.
My Win 10 version is 1803 (build 17134.285)
I don't want to make matters worse by guessing what to do about it. What is the best approach to fix this issue?
Should I be able to simply uninstall from Programs & Features, then download & reinstall?

I am having the exact same issue that you described on my Alienware 15r laptop, the icon has disappeared from my desktop and I can not launch the program from my computer.
I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the SA after which it worked. After running a diagnostic it prompted me to restart my computer, which after the restart I no longer am able to acess SA just like before.
I do not know what to do to fix this issue.
