HP Support Assistant HP Advisor

Hello

I have a HP Pavilion dv8 laptop, windows 7 (64 bit) when I open HP Support Assistant it is for me a message saying: "HPSF.exe stopped working, this application has encountered a problem and needs to close. Click 'OK' to automatically restart this application. "and keep appearing whenever I click ok in the error message, I can't use the HP Support Assistant at all. And before this error began to appear, the support assistant was working fine, but no matter how many times I check updates, it keeps saying that I have the latest version, while I don't have.

And for HP Advisor, I downloaded the application from the website of HP, and regardless of how many times I opened the establishment, nothing happens.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall the support Wizard by using the various links I found as solutions in the forums of HP and marked as a solution to problems similar to mine sent by others, but it didn't work. I also used the fix from microsoft tool to uninstall, without any result.

Thanks in advance,

  • HP Support Assistant: older version give problems, how to upgrade to the latest version?

    Hello world

    My computer is a HP Pavilion laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I have problems with one of the HP software programs pre-installed - HP Support Assistant. It appears once a week (it works for a while after Windows has loaded and then appears a screen) and I opened Assistant support and attempted to change his schedule, but he simply refuses to save the changes I have made to its settings. I noticed that the version number is 4.2.5.3. The program when searching for updates (manually triggered), cannot access HP servers, but fails to download updates, cannot gather information can not analyze the system and tells me that my computer has all the updates (which, given the number of HP Support Assistant version) ", is obviously not correct). So I ran HP Update (version is 5.001.000.014), but it says that I have the updates.

    Finally, via msconfig, I searched for HP Support Assistant, but he wasn't anywhere. However, while it was in operation (which slowed down the computer), I saw it listed in the Task Scheduler (under applications, I think).

    I did some reading, and it seems that the latest version of HP Support Assistant is version 5. How can I upgrade to the latest version? Other preinstalled software of HP update and HP Support Assistant that came with the laptop includes:

    Center of HP solutions-

    -HP Advisor

    -HP MediaSmart

    -HP Photosmart Essential 3.5

    -HP Smart Web Printing

    -the printer drivers and software for my HP all-in-one printer

    I disabled the following HP services as they could slow down the process of starting Windows:

    -HP Health Check (disabled via services.msc)

    -HP Digital Monitor (I think that it has been installed with the printer software. Disabled via msconfig)

    Can someone help me please? Thanks in advance for your time.-)

    Hello

    Most HP installers contain several languages and you should be able to choose German during the first part of the installation.

    I recommend you to uninstall your current version first by using programs and features.  When it is uninstalled, it is often a good idea to restart the laptop before proceeding with the installation of the latest version.

    All the best,

  • iPad, Safari froze and was told that I had to call apple for support assistance.

    My iPad Safari froze and was told that I had to call apple for support assistance.  I called and gave the last four digits of my serial number of the iPad.  They wanted me to download app and pay money, but it felt weird, so I hung up. Am I or my systems compromised in any way by calling and giving the serial number or hang up in time that nothing should be affected?

    Do this...

    Tap Settings > Safari and then slide down and tap clear history & data website, then reboot your iPad.

    The number they gave you is not Apple.

    Never give any personal data abroad on the net, including serial numbers.

  • HP laptop - 15-ay011nr: HP Support Assistant suggests an incompatible update to my system

    Hello

    HP Support Assistant suggested three updates for my system.

    When you try to download the wizard, all of the facilities have not (a phenomenon that has been described by some other posters in this forum).

    So, I looked for each three updates directly in the HP site, after finding my computer and the operating system (HP for computer laptop 15-ay011nr, 10 64-bit Windows).

    I have found two of the updates, but not the third, called: "Intel WLAN for Micorsoft Windows", with Softpaq number SP76133, version 18.40.0.9Pp2, if it is relevant.

    When I reviewed this softpaq number in the site, I have found, but saw that it's only for windows 7 and 8.

    Why the HP support assistant that suggest an update for my system win 10?

    Am I supposed to download it?

    If not, is there a way to stop the support Wizard to think that I should install it?

    Thank you!

    Eitan

    Hey there! @Eitan_L, thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support!

    I understand that HP support assistant is to give false information.

    I suggest you uninstall all components of HP support assistant programs in Control Panel.

    Restart your PC and reinstall the latest version of HP support assistant from this link: http://hp.care/2ezPyyk

    After installation please try to check the updates and see if you still have the same problem.

    Please let me know the results!

    Hi all. My Assistant Support HP just upgraded to the new and does not work to search for updates at all.

    The steps I've tried: uninstallation with Revouninstaller, resettlement, reset

    @troubleshoot411, welcome to the forum.

    I agree with using Revo.  This is my go to app for malware.  When you used Revo, you use the advanced option?  This will not only remove the program from the HARD disk, but it removes remnants of the BIOS.  If this is not the case, this could be the problem.  I suggest to try the advanced option to remove HPSA and shut down the computer.  Then, start and reinstall HPSA here.

  • Omen J2W10AV #ABA: driver Nvidia laptop HP Omen - HP Support Assistant or Nvidia Geforce experience?

    Is there a difference between the graphic drivers downloaded through Nvidia GeForce experience or HP Support Assistant? Their version numbers do not match. I currently use GeForce experience to keep my graphics driver updated, but I also have a problem with how strong the fan may be when you play. I didn't know how hard it gets. If the driver supplied by HP is better suited for this laptop?

    Appreciate any help.

    @Kimikaze ,

    Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forums.  When going with drivers for all laptops always stick with links and tools from manufacturers.  The reason is that pilots have been designed for this application.  They can use a similar number as a GT750 however chip the chip built for laptop him more often were modified slightly to adapt to demand.

    Link at the bottom, so only use the drivers from HP and tools for your HP laptop.  Direct drivers from the chipset manufacturer may not be the same and ask questions for you.

    Thanks again for posting and have a great day.
