Intel Driver and Support Assistant (DSA) scans are failing with the message: Sorry, something went wrong while trying to scan.

[BDiSe]

Intel Driver and Support Assistant scans are failing since DSA was upgraded to version 20.2.9.6. Was working fine before then. Have tried all resolutions mentioned in similar support cases but scans still fail.

1. What is the version of Windows you have on this Compute Stick?
2. Can you describe specifically what solution have you tried ?

Have you, for example, tried clearing the cache on your browser?

[BDiSe]

I'm running Windows 10 Home edition. I've tried several different browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera. Also disabled Add-ons and cleared the browser cache in all cases. I've uninstalled DSA using Windows Apps and Features and also the Intel uninstaller, and then reinstalled DSA. Nothing has worked thus far.

What is your Windows version ? Please check in Windows Settings > System > About

Hello Alberto. All the requested files are in the attached zip file.

FYI. My device is not an Intel compute stick. I mistakenly entered my problem ticket in the wrong category.

Thank you
