The Driver and Support Assistant tells me "Sorry, something went wrong while trying to scan".  I've tried it multiple days; no difference.

 

System specs

Core i3-3110M 2.4 ghz

ram 4 GB

Win 10 Home ( v 21H1 )

build 19043.1526

Hello randallw,


Thank you for the information provided, in this case, please try the following:


1. Clear the browser cache and close the browser.

2. Try rescanning Intel® Driver & Support Assistant (Intel® DSA)


If this doesn't result in the Intel® DSA scan working correctly, try the following:


1. Uninstall the existing Intel® Driver & Support Assistant (Intel® DSA) tool in the system using the Uninstaller tool.

2. Download and install the latest Intel® DSA version


Some additional steps that can be taken if the Intel® DSA scan still isn't working correctly:


1. Ensure the Intel® DSA Service shows a status of Running.

a. In Windows Search, type Services and scroll to find Intel(R) Driver & Support Assistant.

b. Confirm the Status shows Running; start the service if necessary by right-clicking.

2. Check to see if any Windows* updates are pending.

3. Restart the system.

I installed the utility recently ( less than two weeks ago ).  All attempts failed to make it work.

No updates to Windows have been done recently as far as I know.

I am using Firefox 97.0.1

Intel® Driver & Support Assistant will not work on all Windows 10 browsers.  Try Chrome or Edge.
