Can anyone assist. Supportassist said there were updates which it would install. After 5 1/2 hours of saying it was downloading/installing it still said the same. Have tried deleting and reinstalling but it says it's already installed or it is downloading the files but never completes. It doesn't appear as an installed app anywhere I can see.
very good day, relax .have the same luxury problem - fresh download of the support didn't bring anything, the following update doesn't work, or you let it go .but that only works by uninstalling and reinstalling but not updating afterwards.... ....from minutes to hours. I'll contact customer support tomorrow. They'll even call me back... good luck to you!
Thanks for that. I actually have this problem on both a desktop and laptop both running Windows 10. I managed to uninstall Supportassist on the laptop and reinstalled what it said was the latest version however this is 3.0.90 as opposed to 3.1.0 and the hardware scan fails. I can't uninstall on the desktop because Control Panel or settings doesn't show it installed. Interesting to hear what support have to say.
ok howdy .i use for finding programs, uninstalling : glary utilities... https://www.glarysoft.com/ --- foolproof ---- install and click on the garbage can icon on the surface ....there you will surely find the support assist ....the customer support said that is a problem what many have, we should wait for the next dell update , then the problem should be solved - cause is unclear .... hahaha brilliant or what?best regards hucki
ok howdy .alternative method: support assist uninstall at win 10 :click in the lower right corner of the monitor , all settings, apps , apps and features , scrolldown ( til sticky n.) to support assist click , click on advanced options , click and there you will find UNinstall , repair and reset as well- it seems not possible just using the old version ,is it? ... .. best regards hucki

Thanks. I had actually gone a different way to the same thing. I have settings in my taskbar. Click on that and select APPs and then proceed as you say. I have found supportassist this way where I didn't previously but perhaps I was looking for Dell Supportassist instead of supportassist.
i uninstalled both dell supp assist and suppotassist and used the link above for installing, 20 blue powershell windows popped up , installation successful but updating process , a few minutes AGAIN HAHAHA
I glad that you have managed to sort your PC out. Sadly it doesn't work for me either using the German or the English site. I still get the 5+ hours of doing nothing.
