Driver and Support Assistant Not Working On Windows 10

My Support assistant isn't working.  I receive a notification that I have driver updates available.  When I go to the intel page, it says I need to download the app again and then it "unistalls" the app.  It work ok for a few months, but this is a recent problem

Hello geo, 

 

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.   

 

Please try the following steps and let us know about the outcome:  

 

1. What is the browser that you are using? Make sure that you are using the validated browsers: Chrome, Firefox, or Edge* (version 44.17763/18.17763 or newer browsers) 

 

2. Uninstall the  existing Intel® Driver & Support Assistant (Intel® DSA) from Apps and Features: 

  • Click Start
  • Open Control Panel
  • Select Programs
  • Select Programs and Features
  • From the list that displays, click Intel® Driver & Support Assistant
  • Click Uninstall
  • A new window opens that offers to uninstall the program. 

 

3. Remove any remaining files from the Intel® DSA in the system using the Uninstaller tool

4. Download and reinstall the latest Intel® DSA version, run the installer as administrator (right-click on the icon and choose Run as Administrator). 

5. In case the above does not work, please provide the Intel® DSA logs for the tool and uninstaller: 

 

Intel® DSA: 

  

Note: In case you do not see the "ProgramData" folder click on the upper tab "View" and check the box "Hidden items".  

 

Intel® DSA Uninstaller tool: 

 

  • Use the Uninstaller tool again to uninstall the remaining files for the Intel® DSA. 
  • Press Windows key + E (File explorer Windows will be opened with this key combination).  
  • Click on "This PC."  
  • Look for: Disk C:\, on the search bar, type: "DSAUninstaller.log". 
  • Take the logs, copy and paste them into a folder and send them to us. 

 

Regards,

So the Intel support engineers can have more information about your system, Download, run, and save the results of this utility as a text file:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25293/Intel-System-Support-Utility

Then ATTACH the text file using the instructions under the reply window ( Drag and drop here or browse files to attach ).

Thanks Seb, worked a treat 😀

 

BTW,  I was using Brave as my browser and didn't have any issues previously.

Sebastian,  I've always used Brave (chromium) as my default browser, and Intel Support Assistant worked on it fine until this year.  Now it doesn't, which - I guess I understand, since it's not directly Chrome, and certainly isn't Firefox or Edge.  But I don't understand why Brave did used to work, and stopped.  ?

Thanks, though, switched to Chrome and it worked much better.

This display ordering makes this almost humorous. @matiasch is saying in the entry above that he can't get to the tool and the entry below is @Sebastian_M_Intel saying glad you resolved it. Of course, they are posts 6 months apart and have nothing to do with each other. Why? Because @matiasch has hijacked this conversation. @matiasch - It doesn't matter if you believe that you have the same problem; set up your own conversation. No arguing. We will answer you there...
