HP Support Assistant required Action

I have the HP Touchsmart all-in-one with Windows 7.  The HP Support Assistant in my taskbar is rechaussaient a white exclamation mark in a red circle that says need of Action Important.  When I click on the companion of HP and he opens it shows everything that needs action.  How can I find out what action it wants to take?

Thank you

  • HP Pavilion desktop computer: HP Support Assistant important action is needed

    I have a HP Pavillion, model # p7-1534 and product # h2N63AA. The monitor that I use is a HP W2371d and model # is HSTND-3521-A; product # is B3A19A.

    Gustybernie506, welcome to the forum.

    Normally, the part which requires attention will be an exclamation point or be shaded in red.

    I go to the update section and run it to see if there are updates available. That would most likely cause.  If this doesn't solve your problem, go to each section and do what he says to do.

    If all else fails, install the latest version of HPSA from this page:

  • HP Support Assistant will not be installed. System does not meet the minimum requirements.

    I installed my system from Vista to Windows 7 Premium. I have a HP Pavilion Elite m9177c PC. After that I have the latest version of the HP Support Assistant download and run it. It stops at half way through and comes up with a message "your system does not meet the minimum requirements. Does anyone know what are the minimum requirements? If this is not the case, is there a version that will run on my system and also with the Windows 7 Premium?

    I am happy that it worked.

    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.

  • Cannot use, uninstall or reinstall HP Support Assistant

    I had a crash of hard disk and reinstalled from a backup, but the restoration was not complete. Things work pretty well, but not 100%. The key is that my HP Support Assistant PC health does not work and I can't uninstall or reinstall. They are not in the list of installed programs. I get the message that there is already a version of the wizard for help on my drive, whether the download don't reinstall or update.

    I have a HP Pavilion (all-in-One) MS-225 with Win7 Home Premium, 64-bit. It's a year and a half, is no longer under warranty. Is there a way out of this dilemma? Thank you!

    Frank

    UPDATE: I just got the update to run, but it gave me this error message:

    "HP Support Assistant Application Update / your system does not satisfy the minimum requirements for this patch." / However was cancelled. (1602).

    Arniceous,

    Thank you for your response and suggestions.

    After a lot of trial and error, I finally got it works as follows: first of all, I downloaded and installed the latest update for HP Update. Then I renamed the folder HP Support Assistant (didn't do any deletion again) by adding ".old" to it and retries, download and install the latest update for the wizard. This time, he worked and installed!

    So at this stage my PC is OK again and back to where it was before the crash of hard/restore disk. All HP now works as it should.

    I hope this can help you and others in the effort to repair that do not have HP help or a fix for.

  • Pavilion A7F22AV: HP Support Assistant problem

    I download the latest version of HP Support Assistant. This is the version 8.1.52.1. For unknown reasons, a yellow exclamation point is on the question mark icon blue HP Support Assistant updates the day I planned the HP and messages. I know from experience after which means I have to open HP Support Assistant and decide on something. I watch the action log and messages and there is nothing to comment on, and I see no update has been done.   The only way I can get rid of exclamation point on the icon question mark HP Support Assistant is to RESTART my computer. What is causing the exclamation on the HP Support Assistant icon?

    Drumman2, welcome to the forum.

    If you have enabled for Messages and updates and there is nothing available, I suggest you uninstall HPSA and install the version appropriate for your computer from here.  It is possible that a problem has occurred when you installed it.  I've seen this kind of problem before.

  • HP15-ac103na: HP Support Assistant on the new laptop

    Hello

    I have a new notebook HP15 running WIndows 10, so I'm new to all this.

    The HP Support Assistant icon appeared in the taskbar with a double exclamation point on it.  When I move the mouse over it, it says "Significant action", but when I click it, there is nothing I can do.  HP Support Assistant window is disabled by a screen of welcome in front of her, and the next in the Welcome screen button is also disabled.  So I can choose my preferences to update etc, but I can't turn them on or go beyond the Welcome screen.

    Is it me, or is there something wrong?

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post about the problem of HP Support Assistant and wanted to help.

    You can try to download the latest version of this page and see if it works: HP Support Assistant. HP® Official Site

    But if that doesn't fix it, why not just let HP repair at our expense!

    You must contact the HP Customer Support directly so they put you in contact with HP Tech Support to see what they can do on the diagnosis and repair of your machine remotely.

    I did recently, and HP technology was able to remotely access my PC on the Internet and to make the necessary repairs.

    If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1

    If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html

    Good luck

  • Need help with the Support Assistant for TouchSmart 310

    I tried to install the latest version of HP Support Assistant manually by searching on the HP customer service and it removed the previous version first. Nothing happened thereafter. I thought it would open HP Support Assistant after agreeing to terms and policies, but he did nothing. When I click on the HP Support Assistant icon, I get "year error occurred" on the very top of the page.  I am not in a position to make changes within the program - everything is gray.

    I tried unistalling tune but I get a message stating: Error 1316 - a network error has occurred trying to read from the file c:\windows\installer\hp support assistant.msi. I tried to look for this file and have not found. I even typed in the search and was not able to find it so I am not able to uninstall it.

    I've had this computer for a year now and have never been able to upgrade to the latest version of HP Support Assistant within the program. I'd get what your computer does not meet the minimum requirements and so I left it alone. The reason why I decided to manually update was because I have problems with the E: drive. And from what I read on HP, to see if I have a hard drive failed, I would need to run tests using HP Support Assistant, but unfortunately, I am not able to do this since I can't access HP Support Assistant.

    I have HP TouchSmart 310-1125f. Windows 7 64-bit.

    Hello

    It is good to hear than the detected "Fixit" and was able to remove the existing installation of HPSA such as what can many fixed some of the problems that can prevent a new version installation correctly.

    First, even if you always have the latest installer HPSA, download it again from the following link and save it in your downloads folder.

    HP Support Assistant.

    One when you're done, open your download folder, click with the right button on the Setup, select Extract 7 - zip, select the files and then click Ok.  Open the new folder sp58919 snippet and see you another installer called Setup - this right click and select new, 7-zip, select extract files and then click Ok.  Open the new installation folder, the installation application ( 4th down with a size of 249KO ) right-click and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.

    Did the full install now and if so, HPSA does work properly?

    Kind regards

  • HP Support Assistant v7.7.34.34 problem

    I've recently updated the HP Support Assistant software on my HP ENVY 700-230qe PC (Windows 8.1) of the 7.4.45.4 version to the new version of 7.7.34.34 (such as published on the site of downloads of software and driver for my machine). To enable the removal of the previous version, I was forced to use the 'Repair' tool (which should not be necessary under normal circumstances). After you have installed the latest version, I discovered that some features of the program no longer work correctly. When you try to use some tools to Support Assistant (i.e., my computer > Diagnostics & resources), I get the error message "Page not found" :

    "The page of the link is not available at this time. Please go to HP Support Assistant,

    Keep and then click the Refresh button. If you continue to see this message, please

    Click on the feedback button and provide feedback. »

    I do not understand the error message above. My suspicion is that the 7.7.34.34 update version is buggy - or maybe the remains of the old 7.4.45.4 version are still in place (HPSA reports that both versions are always installed, although the control panel lists only the latest version). In addition, I met the same question with another PC HP Windows 8.1 in my household. Uninstallation of 7.7.34.34 (again requiring the "Fix it" MS tool) & then put it back does not solve the problem either. Any suggestions for a solution?

    Uninstalling HP Support Assistant is not just using the uninstall tool in Control Panel.  This Youtube video shows all the steps, do not blink because it is fast.

    If the previous version was working for your taste, handed it to if you are comfortable with it.  However also check this thread and the problems associated with it:

  • HP Photosmart 5520: Delete a message HP Support Assistant

    The symbol of HP Support Assistant in the bar shows constantly spots a yellow triangle with an exclamation point and the tool tip meesage said "action recommended necessary."   Opening of the support Wizard displays the message:

    ' Printers HP - cartridges work with my HP printer?

    I have read the message and clicked on the icon to delete, but the message and the yellow triangle remain stubbornly.  Please tell us how to remove this message once and for all of the support Assistant.   The printer works great!

    Thank you very much

    Dave

    @Dave_V

    @WAWood may be right about the said message tenacious; She might want to stick around, at least for now.

    For other reasons entirely my own installation of HPSA "plugged my trip" with different messages that tend to recur or be replaced by another useful tip.

    It is of my workaround:

    Open HPSA > settings >

    Under Select how you want to receive updates from HP >

    Select check for updates, but let me choose updates to download and install

    Under Select how you want to be informed >

    UNCHECK all the options of notification

    Save

    NOTE:

    • ' Check for updates ' causes the HPSA to indicate when updates are available. the program will not attempt to download updates without your approval
    • Uncheck "all notification options" causes the HPSA down the taskbar

    Windows key > search the list of applications, search and click on HP help and Support >

    Right-click on HP Support Assistant > pine to start

    NOTE:

    • Pine to causes to start the HPSA program becomes available on your start screen
    • To access the HPSA: Windows key > click on HPSA

    Pouf!  No more triangles, constant messages or updates unexpected.

    Reminder:

    • Never, never let the HPSA update your BIOS
    • BIOS updates should be performed only when necessary
    • BIOS updates must be done manually

  • Re: HP Support Assistant is grayed out

    I have exactly the same problem.  'Next' to start Support Wizard screen is dimmed.  I can't get past the splash screen.

    I don't have any software protection antivirus installed on my computer, wait for the usual Windows Defender, which sure is not running in "hard core protection" mode because I hate being prevented from making changes to my computer without beeps and popups and warnings!

    I "ve uninstalled Assistant support.  If there was no reason for me to have it on my HP, you tell me how to get past the splash screen before that I have to install again.

    Hi @RinaB ,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I studied the issues with the HP Support Assistant and who need the GET in front of the start screen. You must fill in the necessary selections for her to continue to the next screen.

    Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant, if you need it.  The app helps with the software and drivers on your system at the time of purchase. You can install it if you want. Windows updates will help with all the drivers that are required for the update.

    Hope this helps you.

    Thank you.

  • HP Support Assistant hangs and then crashes... reinstall does not

    Hoping someone can help me find the support Wizard, v7.0.39.15 is not installed.

    I have a HP ENVY 7200 dv6t Select Edition running Windows 8 64 bits; bought 1/2013

    Wizard support in the status bar indicates there are updates but if I run the wizard of support:

    • It brings together information
    • Scan your system
    • then always crashes (> 1 hr) on the preparation of the list of actions possibly Windows pops up saying the application responds more... and it stops.

    I tried:

    1. Uninstall from the control panel, download the latest version and reinstall (v7.0.39.15)... same result.
    2. Uninstall via Windows MrFixit for 64-bit systems, reinstalling... same result.
    3. Contact HP Chat... they repeat #1.., same result then tried to disable all unnecessary services... same result.
    4. Ultimately on the cat people asked me to do a restore system... at which point I refused given that all other software on my machine works well... I don't want to nuke my entire machine to fix the support Wizard.

    I guess that there are others in a similar situation... ironic that the software that is supposed to help me seems irreparable

    Anyone else have similar problems?

    Hey everyone following this thread I found a fix that has my back work support Assistant!

    Unfortunately, no help from HP, no fixed but less.

    To fix it, I changed the properties to launch Windows 7 compatibility mode and checked the run with administrator permissions. Don't know who did it, don't care really... my HP support assistant is back from work

    Here is a screenshot of properties that worked for me

    I hope this helps someone else... I got way more that I gave.
