Dell Update Problems - User Account Control

Do both users have the same system level?  e.g. do both have full rights (including administrator rights) or is one a restricted account?

No, both users do not have the same rights.  

The user with Administrative rights does not have the Dell message that I described.   The subordinate user (without  Administrative rights) has the problem.

I'm having the same problem with a new XPS 13 2 in 1.  Did you find a solution? Thanks

same problem Latitude 7480

I have the same issue with a Dell Inspiron 5579.

I'm having the exact same problem. Has anyone come up with a solution? 

Got my Dell Inspiron 3268 a couple of weeks ago and have noticed this message appearing several times in a user account without admin rights. Don't have the necessary know-how to use installutil.exe.

It disappears when I press OK and nothing bad seems to happen but I'd like to stop the message appearing.

Same Problem: Fresh out of the box Dell Inspiron desktop. Admin account doesn't have the problem. Regular User account gets this message.  Even if I enter the Admin password, I will still get the Service start failure message.

I don't know what Dell Service is trying to run/start.  DellUpdate, DellDigitalDelivery and Dell SupportAssist Remediation services are running.

The same thing is happening to me, too. I've had my Inspiron 3268 for about three months, but did not start having this problem until two weeks ago. I checked the System History using Dell Support Assist and noticed that Dell SupportAssistAgent had been automatically updated two weeks ago to version 2.1.3.5 When the User Account Control Screen appeared I clicked "Show more details" and it said the program requesting permission was C:\Program Files\Dell\SupportAssistAgent\bin\SupportAssistAgent.exe I tried to do a System Restore to a time before the update to SupportAsssistAgent 2.1.3.5 but the System Restore failed complaining about a file. I don't recall the exact name of the file but it was a file associated with Dell software.

Same thing, just received today 29-01-2018 my Inspiron 17 5000,  Admin account is ok, but my personal account in which I use my Microsoft account is sending this message randomly when I access my personal account. I was thinking of removing all the bloatware to see if the message disappear but I think I will wait till it's solved, just to avoid any justification of the support team on the cause of this issue.

I had the same problem on two different machines. 

I just have removed (uninstalled) the DELL Support Assist Agent.

I dont need the Support Assist, so I solved the problem for me. 

thanks for all the info as we had the same problem in Thailand; Completely **bleep** up the user's logins so I've instructed to uninstall the Dell agent and then we can review the user login and see if it returns to normal

Is there a problem with the image Dell is using for all of its OEM installations?  Looks like it to me. This problem goes deeper as there appears to be a permissions issue with these OEM images which Dell is not addressing.  I just bought this Dell Inspiron 5567 and have this issue. I even used the Dell restore facility and went back to factory a day after I bought it to make sure I had not done something wrong and same behavior and event errors immediately. Take a look at your Event Viewer under System and you will probably find numerous 11016 error codes which point to permissions problems. I don't know if removing Dell Support Assist will fix the problem. We shouldn't have to do that. Some find the Support Assist feature useful and want to be able to utilize it.  Also, you will find that if you are using limited account profiles that are not an administrator you will have permissions problems with some programs you may want to install under those profiles.  To attempt to try and sort that out is not something an average user will be able to do nor should they have to as this appears to be a problem that is embedded in these OEM images and Dell is just selling them like this.

If I am wrong my humble apologies but before I give that, Dell prove I am wrong and address these issues!

I've also ran into this issue and what I did was: I logged into as local admin and uninstalled Dell SupportAssistAgent. Logged out and log back in as the user and no more notification.
