Intel Driver and Support Assistant, Automatic Upgrade error

Leen01 — Mon, 24 Apr 2023 19:37:19 GMT

I've never had any problems with the Driver and Support Assistant, but now I get a "Automatic update failed" Windows notification. I am running the latest version. And everything seems to be OK: My system is detected, I can scan my system, and there are no supported driver or software updates available for my system.

I have the latest version installed (23.1.9.7), but still that notification keeps popping up. What could be wrong?

By the way, I find it odd that there isn't a separate subforum for Software. People post questions about DSA in different irrelevant subforums.

That is by design. If there were a dedicated forum, then people would see how bad the situation with IDSA really is.

Hello Andres,

After carrying out the first two steps, the problem still persists.

Attached the log files. One of the three folders was empty, so that one was not added to the zip file.

Hello Leen01,

We appreciate your patience.

After investigating this matter, we guess that there was some system change (maybe a software application) that corrupted the Intel® DSA install data in the registry. Our Intel® DSA update process currently relies on that data being correct. We want to confirm if you have followed the steps we shared in the article "How Do I Resolve Upgrade Issues with Intel® Driver & Support Assistant (Intel® DSA)?". We suspect that option three should have corrected the problem.
