Support Assist launches by itself then hangs.

Over the last 2 days, I have come back to my computer (G3) and found the Support Assist UI open and not responding. Clicking on it eventually shows Not Responding. Restarting it causes the same results, UI hang and needing to force close the process. Per an old thread I tried repairing and resetting the app via Settings. No success. Any helpful ideas would be appreciated.

@Technut.Canada and All,

Thanks for your valuable feedback. We heard you and resolved the issue with a hotfix.  SupportAssist pushed an update to address “unresponsive SupportAssist application issue (due to missing logo)”. This update happens silently in the background and doesn’t require any user interaction.  All systems are expected to get this auto update by end of today,June 28th. Please relaunch SupportAssist and ensure issue is resolved.  

PS:  Please do not rename logo file any more, issue gets resolved with specified auto update.

Thanks,

Dell – Kumar

Same here.  Three different computers (one new)  same thing.  The window opens and then it just hangs.

==========================================================================

In the folder

C:\Program Files\Dell\SupportAssistAgent\bin\Resources\

rename

New-Dell-Logo-White-Small.png

to 

New-Dell-Logo-White.png

(just remove the -Small from the end of the file name)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I don't know how you came up with this solution but it works on both Dell's.

Thanks a lot!

Have tried relaunching Support Assist and it is still hanging.  How can I go about downloading the "hotfix"?

Thank you.
