• 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.

• 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.

• Should I Uninstall HP Support Assistant? If this is not the case, how to manage settings?

  Hi, new and first post so I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place, I hope that someone will tell me otherwise.  Have computer laptop Pavilion G72 9 months with OS Win 7.  I was wondering if I can uninstall HP Support Assistant on it (not really computers does) so that it won't keep coming and wanting to do things - or me for them, do on the computer?  I'm not entirely sure that it's a necessary software and will occupy the space and not something there.  Would really appreciate if someone can advise on this please, thanks in advance for your help.

  It is important to keep an update to my view, so that you can keep your drivers up to date apps.

• HP Support Assistant is unable to install the drivers wireless wireless device not recognized at startup

  Name and product number:

  HP Envy Sleekbook4 PC / / C2K72UA #ABA

  Intel Centrinto Wireless-N 2230

  Microsoft Kernel Debug network adapter

  Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller

  USB - IF xHCI USB Host controller (Intel WiUSB)

  Inter 7 series / C216 Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller - 1E26 (there is a similar device that works but ends with 1E2D)

  System Operalting:

  Latest Windows 8

  No error message.

  Changes:

  Uninstalled some things via the control panel (I don't know where I can find a newspaper which has been uninstalled)

  Attempt to system restore and it failed.

  My diagnosis:

  First of all, some info on why the devices do not work.

  The USB controller claims there are insufficient system resources to complete the API. However, I am only using about 20% of my memory and my hard drive. If I deactivate and reactivate the device through Device Manager it starts working until the computer passes in mode 'sleep' or reboots.

  The Realtek PCIe controller and Intel Centrino Wireless adapter simply read {operation failed}. If I disable and re-enable these devices via Device Manager they begin to work until the computer mode "sleep" or reboots.

  The Microsoft Kernel Debug network adapter "is not present, is not working properly or is not all its drivers installed."

  Intel WiUSB - windows cannot load the drivers for this device (code 31).

  The HP support assistant tries to download and install "Wireless for windows drivers 8. The download succeeds, but the installation fails.

  At startup, windows thinks that there are no network adapters (other than bluetooth). After the reboot of the devices from the Device Manager, they appear in the section of the network adapters.

  Thank you in advance for reading this and any help you may be able to offer,

  Tim

  I see. Unfortunately, the failure of the short DST means that the hard drive needs to be replaced. The computer is still under warranty?

  If so, you can contact HP Technical Support and ask them to send you a replacement. This replacement will come with recovery media. If you don't have an external CD drive, make sure you request a recovery rather than recovery disks USB. They should know that the model already, but, I would make sure. Once you have received the new hard disk, you will need to send the back of an old man in this same area, using the provided shipping label. The technician on the phone will give you the details on that.

• HP Pavilion 500-242ea: do not install after the OS re - install HP Support Assistant

  I had to make one count re - install Windows 8.1 and when I clicked on update HP Support Assistant... a specified message occurred during the update... Click Close. I can not install HP Support Assistant on PC. I downloaded the HP website sp68201 and it ran... the installation process went well but I see still no support help icon in the taskbar even after quick access HP Support Assistant ticking. I checked my pc and HP Wizard is installed in programs and found HPSE and clicked and HP Support Assistant main window appears and then HPSE does not. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times without result.

  I want to do a re factory - set again.

  I can't even re - install through Recovery Manager utility.

  Can anyone suggest how to get Wizard HP work?

  I tried after Forum troubleshooting steps and still get nowhere

  Thanks for the reply.

  I managed to get HP Support Assistant job by running Microsoft Fix It program. I had to restart and run repaired several times. Then, I ran a deep analysis of all files HPSA previously using an uninstall program and deleted remainders. Then I reinstalled sp6801 file and everything is ok. I think that when doing a full reinstall something gets corrupted somewhere in the registry.

• have replaced my HARD original with an SSD drive, but now my laptop does not recognize HP support assistant?

  Dear Forum,

  I replaced my original HARD with a SSD drive, but now HP support assistant recognizes my phone? The program runs but updates always fail and when I look at general specifications the serial number, product name, number of product, microprocessors, system memory, motherboard, bios system, drive hard (s), and optical drive (s) are all empty. Interestingly, it recognizes the device to display (s) as being mobile intel (R) HD graphics and current resolution of 1366 x 768 and refresh rate 60.

  My laptop is an Australian model HP DV4 3029tx, which is an intel i5 14 "(2ème génération) with AMD graphics 6750" I replaced the original 640 GB hd with a 180 GB ocz vertex 2 using acronis to clone the drive.

  I would be grateful is anyone know how to get hp support assistant to recognize my computer.

  Thank you very much

• HP TouchSmart 300-1020: buttons HP Support Assistant diagnostic Test does not

  I have HP Support Assistant version 7.7.34.34, which - I think - is the right version for my TouchSmart from HP with Windows 7 64-bit 300-1020.

  When I try to run a diagnostic test (optical drive, USB key, sound card test, test test the printer, hard drive, keyboard, map chart, microphone, mouse), the button snaps (with mouse) for diagnosis, tests do not work.

  Basically... I click on the button for the desired... diagnostic test and nothing happens!

  Troubleshooting apparently buttons function very well... click on one and a convenience store starts.

  What can I do to "solve" the problem of Diagnostics button?  Thank you!

  You are welcome.

  Since your computer is 6 years old, I suggest that perform you a System Recovery.  I do this at least once a year because I like a computer that works like new without any problems.

• HP ENVY 15 j-001er: HP Support Assistant does not install drivers

  Hello

  My HP Support Assistant is not install drivers after they download from the Internet. What kind of software could block the installation? And how to manually install the drivers?

  Johannes_Russeu

  Welcome to the Community Forum of HP.

  You can easily set the HPSA to warn you of updates and then use your computer Support pages to download updates to install.

  HP ENVY 15-j001er notebook PC

  Each driver / software package includes an instruction Decription page and installation.

  ========================================================

  Do not forget:

  It is the opinion of the Expert that you shouldn't depend on HP Support AWizard when it comes to BIOS updates.

  According to other factors in the system at the time when the HPSA trying to hit your system with an update of this type; the results could be... other than expected.

  You can set 'Notification' HPSA to prevent it from trying to update your BIOS.

  DON'T update the BIOS when you see an update in the Web page of your computer AND this update can be used to provide a fix for a problem that you have discovered in your system.  In other words: If your computer is happy, do not update the BIOS just because you think it would be a good thing to do.

  If you decide to update your BIOS

  • Make sure that ALL backups are up-to-date and complete - this means that everything you need to restore the system in case something goes wrong.
  • Understand that even when you do everything exactly right, you can end up with a bricked computer, that is an expensive paper weight.
  • Make sure you have at least your critical data on some form of external backup.
  • Unplug the USB drives and other useless material.  Keyboard and mouse can stay connected.
  • Always run power cable to update the BIOS, never on the laptop battery
  • Touch the system during the update is underway
  • Optional: Leave wireless ONbutton. You could turn off the router to ensure that there is no interruption.

  Updated the BIOS

  And, if you get in trouble despite the best intentions:

  Restore the BIOS

• HP Support Assistant does not - SOLVED

  Hi all. My Assistant Support HP just upgraded to the new and does not work to search for updates at all. He goes on to say that he will search for drivers on - such and such date, then then I'll watch, and he will have a new date and said its never been updated. When I click Refresh, he said 'shutdown. Please wait... »

  When left alone for a minute he uses almost HALF of my computer resources, then I kill the process such that it does not show its actually nothing.

  Hello

  Try the following

  Firstly, uninstall your current version of HP Support Assistant using Microsoft 'Fixit' at the following link: this is particularly useful for correcting problems that may prevent resettlement on the machines running a 64 bit OS.

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

  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.

• HP Support Assistant on my laptop or desktop does not detect the other machine.

  HP Support Assistant on my desktop or my laptop does not detect the other machine.  They are both on the same network.  Both are HP machines. Both are running Windows 10.  Is normal.  I would like to kind of monitor my desktop with my laptop when I'm away from home.

  @bmedbury

  The behavior you describe is normal - the HP Support Assistant is a program "per computer", in other words, each program HPSA lies and keeps track of just a computer on which the program is installed.
