Dell Support Assist Keeps Spinning when Updating Drivers

I have a brand new Inspiron laptop with a Core i7 10th gen processor.  Today, Dell Assist won't update the drivers, but just spins indefinitely.  I've waited about 6 hours so far and the image below is all I get (the circle is spinning).

The computer is plugged in, so that's not the problem.

    Same problem on   Precision 5530. Been that way for a while and no help from anyone at Dell. Silly things about the name of the PNG. Software update says the command tool is current Dell needs to address this.

    The Support AssistAgent is nicely using up 12% of CPU but showing no visible result other than the spinner and the word "validating" on all 5 items it says I need updates on. 

    Can someone from Dell actually respond on this?

    I ended up somehow navigating to the support area for my laptop on Dell‘s website and I was able to re-download support assist from there and it finally worked.
