SupportAssist splash page keeps popping up, failure to load
starting today, support assist will randomly pop up, and say it is loading. Here is a picture of what i see
However, it never actually loads up supportassist. I just now tried to open it myself, and it wasnt able to load fully. I also noticed it is in the "recently added" tab in my start page.
Was there an update for it I need to download? Or did an automatic update not work? Im wondering what I should do.
There was a global update on or after 12/2/19 for v3.4.0.200. Perhaps there could have been an issue with windows appx bundle. This may correct itself but only way to tell what kind of error is occurring is checking the event viewer for any install errors. Event logs - Open Event Viewer - Windows Logs - Application Event Source = msiinstaller, SupportAssistAgent, Appx* or Apps. Apps* Or search the word ERROR in the SupportAssistAgent.log under, C:\ProgramData\SupportAssist\Client\Agent\logs\ApplicationLogs If you don’t feel like or have the time to troubleshoot the issue you could always try a clean install via the URL. https://www.dell.com/support/article/uk/en/ukbsdt1/sln302741/supportassist-for-pcs-and-tablets-clean-uninstall-and-reinstall?lang=en
Now a new thing happens. It starts up saying there is a new version it wants to install so I hit Yes. Then it says it was cancelled as there is already a new version installed.
The splash screen says 3.4.0 but if I hit "No" not to install the new version (as it doesn't install anything anyway) and then go to About SupportAssist it says 3.3.3.13.
