Problem with MyDell updating

Hi. I just tried to open 'MyDell' and it said there is an update which I must install to be able to continue to use 'MyDell', but it won't install, says to check my network connection! There is nothing wrong with the connection, even tried disabling the anti virus, firewall and all other security  including VPN and everything else that is likely to cause such a problem, still it won't update so still I can't use 'MyDell' - Anybody any ideas how to fix this issue, there are no error codes and no information why it wont install the critical update. (Inspiron 5502 purchased 3 weeks ago direct from Dell France ( not at all happy with Dell France, no problem at all with Dell UK or Dell USA) Thanks in advance for the help to fix this.

    Hi. For me the solution was something called  Fusion Service - 

    My Dell Fusion Service This package contains the Fusion Service used by the My Dell and My Alienware application. The My Dell and My Alienware are application software that provide a single point to access features such as self help articles, settings, accessories, software, and SupportAssist. The Dell Fusion Service provides services needed by My Dell and My Alienware to enable these features.

    I downloaded manually from Mydell online, version for windows 10, now everything is working correctly. I'm on windows 11 so i think in my case the problem was missing update for 11 so SupportAssist didn't find new drivers.

    Hi WA2NRC:

    Have you tried updating the Fusion Service required to run newer versions of My Dell as suggested in this thread? If not, follow my instructions <above> to find the support page for your Dell computer model where you can download the latest Fusion Service update recommended for your system (currently v2.0.58.0 for most Dell computers). Download the .exe installer and save to your to your Windows desktop, right-click the file and choose "Run as Administrator", and follow the remaining prompts to install the update. It might not appear that anything is happening for a minute or so but you should eventually see the pop-up shown below confirming that the installer ran to completion.

    Hi vseenu, I still haven't got this with MyDell App resolved yet, so far spent over 36 hours working with 'Dell-Cares' and got know where! Possibly it was the last driver update thats causeed the problem. Not at all happy at the moment

    I've had this same problem. I tried uninstalling the MyDell app and reinstalling it from the Microsoft Store, but I get the same error.

    Same issue.  Update does not load, says to check internet connection.  I tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling via the microsoft app store...still no success.  Hopefully Dell will correct the update in the near future.

    Hello All those having a problem with 'My Dell' I am currently working with Dell (taken me 47 hours so far) to get this fixed. It is really hard work too! It appears this problem may have been caused on about the 7 April and has taken a time to imbed itself into the system. If and when I get this resolved I will let you all know what caused this or what I believe caused it (I have a good idea now, but we will see!) Incidentally my machine is the Inspiron 5502 purchased on the 27 March 2021;
