    You can try uninstalling Support Assist and then reinstall it to fix the “SupportAssist not working” issue. To do this, follow the steps below:

    Step 1: Open the Settings application and open the Apps part.

    Step 2: Now, find Dell SupportAssist and uninstall it.

    Step 3: Once the uninstall is completed, restart the system and then reinstall the latest version of Dell SupportAssist from the Internet.

    Then, check to see if the “Dell SupportAssist not working” error has been fixed.

    Have you tried to run diagnostics by tapping F12 immediately at boot? I am referring to tests that are not performed online.

    I am not a Dell employee...I am forum volunteer

    Serious work on an E5430 and constantly building and working on an i5-6500 Desktop

    I'd trust the built-in test more than the online test.
