Hello @Berthsan
Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities. Our support is only provided in English. We may not be able to translate screenshots attached to the thread. To better assist you, we use a translation tool.
We understand that when running the Intel® Driver & Support Assistant (Intel® DSA), there is an error message saying "Sorry, something went wrong while trying to scan".
In case you haven't try yet, we recommend going through the following steps:
- Ensure you are using a supported browser (Chrome*, Firefox* or Edge*).
- Clear your browser cache.
- Click “Refresh Results” on the menu on the left-hand side of the Intel DSA scan page.
- If the system is powered on and running 24/7, try to reboot it.
- Try uninstalling (the normal way through Windows* Add/Remove programs) and then reinstalling Intel® DSA latest version Version: 21.1.5.2.
- Please also check the Frequently asked questions about the Intel® Driver & Support Assistant for additional information and suggestions.
You may also try to completely uninstall using the special Intel® Driver & Support Assistant Uninstaller which removes all files related to Intel DSA and then do a fresh install of the latest version again.
If the issue persists, please provide the following information to check this further:
1- Is this a new system and a new installation of Intel® DSA? Or did it work fine before? If this worked fine before, was there any hardware or software change (Windows updates, Intel® DSA app updates, driver updates, etc) related to the point when the behavior started?
2- What browser are you using and version number or build number:
3- Do you have any browser plug-ins (ad blocking or script blocking)?
4- Are you a home user? If yes, what is the brand and model of the router?
5- Do you have security or anti-virus software installed, if yes, please provide details.
6- Are you on a company network?
7- Please attach all the Intel® DSA files zipped from the following 2 folders (not just .log files but all the files in the folder):
- C:\ProgramData\Intel\DSA\Logs
- C:\ProgramData\Intel\DSA\Data
NOTE: the ProgramData folder may be hidden by default so you may need to un-hide it to view the Intel® DSA log files. Instructions to un-hide are: > Windows File Explorer > View > Show/Hide: check the box for "Hidden Items".
8- Please provide the "DSAUninstaller.log" file. You can find the location of the log file in Windows* File Explorer by searching for it by DSAUninstaller.log and please be sure to provide the most recently dated log.
9- Please run the Intel® System Support Utility (Intel® SSU) and attach the report to this thread to gather more details about your system.
- Download the Intel® SSU and save the application on your computer
- Open the application, check the "Everything" checkbox, and click "Scan" to see the system and device information. The Intel® SSU defaults to the "Summary View" on the output screen following the scan. Click the menu where it says "Summary" to change to "Detailed View".
- To save your scan, click Next and click Save.
Best regards,
Andrew G.

Hi! Since now i apologize for my English.
Well, I tried doing the steps you asked me, but that doesn't worked. Then I'll send the 9 information you asked, so, that's it:
1- Actually, there's no new actualization on my hardware/software, and yes, the programs was used to work normally some days ago.
2- I'm using the Opera GX browser, and the version is LVL 2 (core: 73.0.3865.415), I noticed that the browsers you said that would work normally with the program was Chrome, Firefox and Edge, but as I said, even using the Opera GX browser, it used to work.
3- About some browser plug-ins, I do have and use a "Install Chrome Extensions" extension on my browser, and it actually comes with a ad blocking, but it's actually off.
4- Yes, I'm a home user. About my router brand and model, I think it's a "Cisco - Linksys" and the model is "WRT120N".
5- Yes I do, I actually have the Windows Security and the Norton 360.
6- No, I'm not.
7- I haven't found the folders you asked.
8- Same as the item 7, I haven't found this folder.
9- About this one, I'm going to send to you.

Item 5 - you are running BOTH Windows Defender and Norton 360 concurrently? You should NEVER have more than one real-time anti-virus product running concurrently.
Get rid of or turn off Norton, and make sure you are using the Windows firewall and not blocking localhost on ports 28385-28389, and not blocking port 443 (HTTPS).
Just saying...
