HP and HP Support Assistant update

Is it necessary to have and use the updated HP and HP Support Assistant?  HP Support Assistant does not have everything HP Update done more more? It seems that HP Support Assistant was created to replace HP Update.

Hello:

I agree with you.

The support assistant is a program that includes the search for updates and other features such as air upward, etc..

I see no need for both (in fact, I see no need of either).

I mean this... I would like to change the default value of the assistant to support the definition and automatically download and install updates. I read where this thing was running updates the BIOS in the background while people were working on their PC with antivirus running programs, etc., than to have bad things happen.

If you like the support Wizard, my recommendation is to change the setting to warn and let me choose which updates to install - or what is the closest option to the default.

    I know it's just a warning and it doesn't seem to affect the performance of my computer that I can say, but I would like to know why it's happening.

    Well, I found the task that updates HPSA in Task Scheduler.  I disabled it by using the Properties window.  On the chance someone may be interested, I'll post how it turns out.

    I hope that I can now keep the HPSA listed for my computer with no additional alert to update again HPSA that generates several warnings and is not compatible with my desktop computer Pavilion p6 - 2220t and/or Windows 7 sp1 64-bit operating system.

    This disabled the HPSA update only not any other.  It seems to be a standalone update for HPSA.

  • HP Support Assistant - update for Ralink August 2013

    I posted this under the hardware because it's the Ralink WiFi card, but the problem is an HP support Assistant update then maybe I should have posted here in the software.  Thought I'd try again; no answer on Forum hardware.

    13/11/2013-19:46

    Hello mpw101

    If I understand correctly, you have a desktop PC HP Pavilion p6 - 2220t CTO and run the Ralink SP62055.exe? I have no idea why the Support Assistant recommend this update because it is to the computers of Business model and not your computer. I recommend that you follow the instructions below.

    Step 1. Download this driver to your computer

    Step 2. Go in Device Manager

    Step 3. Right-click on the Ralink Wireless and uninstall (check that you delete the driver when prompted)

    Step 4. Double-click the file you downloaded and install it as it's the right driver Ralink for your computer

    This should solve your problem. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

    HP6267c with Windows 7, Norton 360, Acronis True Image

    HP Support Assistant was working properly until I have been offered and accepted a Support Assistant update today. Now, I can't go in front of the opening screen. Clicking (gray) next, setting, either about has no effect. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version several times, including the use of Microsoft Fixit for uninstall.

    I worked on a "blue screen" kick this PC, and sometimes it can only be started in Safe Mode, although it works normally now, if these problems may be related.

    Hello again hp6267c,

  • HP CoolSense disappeared after Hp Support Assistant update

    Hello

    Today the software "Hp Support Assistant" update itself. After this update, I've lost the ability to open a program I used on a daily basis to reduce the noise of my fans: "Hp Coolsense. It is really important for me to control the temperature at wich fans are beginning to increase their rotation, since sometimes I may need a quiet computer, like when im on a school library.

    Thank you for your time.

    Ok...

    • Look in your recovery Manager - under "Immediate assistance" > Software Installation

    Find the package here and see if you can load it from the Manager.

  • BIOS and HP Support Assistant?

    I am a little appalled and would like to know what is happening with the updated Bios and HP Support Assistant.  To visit this forum, I came to the conclusion that we should NOT allow the HPSA download and install the updates to the Bios.  Is this true and if so, what do you do to solve this problem?  Unfortunately, I learned that this HPSA AFTER put to update my Bios to a version that is not listed for my laptop.  Unfortunately, not a not inform me on what I should do after it has happened.  Should I try and "exploded" my Bios?  Or leave?  I appreciate all help.  I now f.2bs and according to the download site for my model number, I use f.0Une.  My laptop is a Pavilion DV6T-7000 Quad Edition A5F76AV.

    Problem solved.  I decided my BIOS of backflash called for on site support (drivers and downloads).  Everything is fine and it even fixed some Diagnostics UEFI.  After seeing things, I found that HPSA does not have a very good job of distinquishing your operating system.  In my case, whenever HPSA tells me an update of the BIOS, it applies generally to 8 Windwos.  I am running Windows 7.  Meh.

  • Message boot fail and OS recovery, HP Support Assistant updates fail to install

    Product has 10, 64-bit windows.

    Before that I got the operating system, when the wizard of Support HP told me that there are updates for my laptop, the updates worked OK.

    Laptop suffered a spontaneous failure to start.

    The only solution I could find was to restore the operating system from the recovery partition.

    However, since I restored the operating system, the HP Support Assistant always warns me that there are updates for my laptop.

    However, after recovering OS when they download, updates now always failed. There is no error code.

    Complete installation

    Installation failure

    Endquote

    HP Support assistant, then returns to tell me there is an important update - of course, this is the same update that has failed, and Yes, I tried several times, each time with the same result.

    I never had this problem with Linux.

    GRRRRRRRR!

    I'm done contact HP Support. They gave me with a link to download the update manually. I still have to do that.

    If this does not work, I'll come back to them.

  • Slimline Office 260-a020: Win7 on a Win10 computer: warranty and HP Support Assistant

    About ready to take my new machine to & Geek Squad to pay $100 to the level of Win10 to Win7 (got new drive Home Premium & key, also downloaded 7 and make an ISO image in the hope of saving hours install all updates when I thought I was going to do it myself and try).  Two questions:

    This isn't a return to upgrade Win10, this is a native Windows 10 machine. Is this likely to void my warranty?

    And I'll always be able to use HP Support Assistant, or he's going to focus on my system and say

    "OMG, this crazy needs new drivers" and then send me Windows 10 drivers thinks that his place on this machine?

    Hello:

    It is a peer to peer forum, so we can only give you our unqualified opinion about warranty information.

    It used to be written information online on warranty information.  I can't find anything relevant to your question more.

    From what I read in the past, you will cancel the software warranty as you install an operating system not supported.

    This means that if you have a problem with Windows or the programs installed on the PC, HP will be asked to reinstall W10 before moving on to troubleshoot the PC under warranty.

    Install W7 should not void the warranty of equipment.

    I do not use the HPSA myself, but it does not scan your PC and recommends W10 drivers.

    The safe thing to do would be to have it notify you of updates but not automatically install the.

    Do not leave it on autopilot (automatically download and install updates).

  • HP Pavilion: recommendation of HP Support Assistant update

    Hello

    HP Support Assistant recommended (today) I installed "RealtekRT28723BE/RT281882EE Wireless LAN Driver udate. Have you tried a couple of times and each time I end u without connecting to the net - had to use a restore point for come back to where I was so I used the WiFi AC. I like to keep things up-to-date on my laptop, so I was wondering what I should do to get this recommended update loaded and still have WiFi connectivity?

    TXS

    Okay, I think that the problem is that, as you update the wifi driver using wifi, the connection falls at a point and corrupts files. so my sollution would be to try to download the driver out of his HP and install it "without having to be connected. Here is the link to download the driver

  • HP Support Assistant update 11/15/2012

    I made an update to HP Support Assistant, and after I restarted, he asked if I wanted to keep quick access? in my taskbar. I said

    Yes, but there is no back entrance. How can I get that back?

    Hello

    I just checked the link and it seems to work, so it is possible the site had problems in the last attempt it.  See if it works now, as uninstalling HPSA by using the "Fixit" can correct possible registry and configuration problems.

  • HP Support Assistant update problem

    HP Pavilion dv6-2155dx laptop

    Windows 7 operating system

    .

    I was up later than usual night and the computer was always after midnight. It is usually out before this date. I think that the HP Support Assistant has been programmed to do a tune-up once every two months to 23:00 or 12: 00 but did not a update for a long time because I turn off the computer before the scheduled time.

    .

    The HP Support Assistant started a tune-up as expected but is still running. In my view, it has begun on 28/07/2012.

    HP Support Assistant says "Tune up underway". Happened for several days and don't quit. Until today, he said it as to defragment my hard drive.

    How can I stop and see the results. TS?  All I can find is a list with checkmarks.  There is a red X with the line that indicates.

  • HP support assistant updates failling

    HPSA was on "auto" for so long I just fgorgot on this subject. But I noticed recently that the final analysis was conducted in February! So, I tried to run a "health analysis. But, all of the updates fail. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hello

    Try the following

    Firstly, uninstall your current version of HP Support Assistant using Microsoft 'Fixit' at the following link: this is especially useful if you are running a 64-bit Windows version, because it helps to prevent problems when reinstalling HPSA.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall

    When uninstallation is completed, restart the laptop.

    When windows has reloaded, download and install the latest version of the page at the link below - HP Support Assistant download links are to the bottom of the page.

  • Workstation Mobile HP EliteBook 8540w AND HP Support Assistant

    Assistant HP support keeps showing me that there is an update for the graphics card AMD driver and control panel for my HP EliteBook 8540w. It is for the driver to download and then fails.  I could update all my drivers except this one today.

    The driver version is listed in the Manager Support HP in the following way:

    8.911.4.2 - A-145903C 120811

    Thanks AttackofZaq,

    I had already uninstalled and reinstalled it as suggested elsewhere on these cards (and before your above suggestion). Kudos are certainly in order because you answered, but yours was not the answer that solved my problem.

    Curiously, I used HP Support Manager to answer my question, to aid that it is built based on cat. I was put in a conversation with a competent representative of HP and he advised me to do the same thing as you. Still, I had to tell him it was all finished. I allowed him to control remotely from my laptop through virtual rooms of HP and he confirms what I said.

    In the end, we agreed that the wrong display driver that was listed in the support manager was an anomaly that should not be are revealed to me that he is not yet released. The representative stated that he would a note at HP on the problem as it was more than just an embarrassment on my part; I tried several times to install this driver ghost using HP Support Mananger only of for have failed and then uninstall later Support Manager himself AND finally post on this forum before you try the chat feature...

    Overall I am satisfied by the level of support I received. I recommend the option chat to everyone that I was helped by a real person with real technical skills and there is no "communication problem" between us.
