Unable to get Intel Driver Support Assistant to work on Windows 10

[S8teo]

I am having some difficulty trying to use Intel Driver Support Assistant to download and install new drivers. Whenever I right-click on the Intel DSA icon in my toolbar to check for new drivers, I get the error message "Sorry, something went wrong while trying to scan."

It used to work couple of months ago but I can no longer download new drivers. I've already tried uninstalling and using the Uninstaller tool and re-installing it again.

Hello S8teo,

Thank you for posting on the Intel* Community.

• Can you please confirm if this is your laptop model https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-15-Notebook-PC-series/7234951/model/7429489? I wasn't able to find it with the report. If not please provide the specific model.
• Please complete all the pending Windows* Updates

Keep in mind that when Intel® DSA cannot detect your device, it's due to the following reasons:

• You have an older component.
• Your component is discontinued or isn't supported.
• You have a component not produced by Intel.
• You have a customized driver pre-installed by the computer manufacturer.
• The component isn't in Intel's database.

Please follow the below recommendations:

1. Try testing all the different validated browsers: Chrome, Firefox, or Edge*

We understand that you already try those steps but it is to have new LOGs in case the issue persists.

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. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/30193/Intel-Driver-Support-Assistant-Uninstaller?v=t

4. Download and reinstall the latest Intel®️ DSA version 21.1.5.2  https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28425/Intel-Driver-Support-Assistant, run the installer as administrator (right-click on the icon and choose Run as Administrator).

5. In case the problem appears again, please provide the Intel®️ Driver & Support Assistant logs? In order to get them, please follow these instructions: 

• Press Windows key + E (File explorer Windows will be opened with this key combination). 
• Click on "This PC." 
• Look for: Disk C:\ProgramData\Intel\DSA, and zip the Log files or the entire folder.
• Note: In case you do not see the "ProgramData" folder click on the upper tab "View" and check the box "Hidden items".

Best regards,

No, that is not the right model. It's a HP Notebook 15 ay110na.

Okay, for some reason it seems to have worked when I tried Google Chrome.
