@vaibhavchanana Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that HP support assistance is not showing the product number and serial number.

In that case, I would suggets you uninstall the HP support assistance and check.

Please refer to the below link to troubleshoot the issue.

I can't find any helpful fix in the link you provided. i can't get serial or product number through cmd commands or any other program. or please tell me if there is any update for my pc or not as i don't need hp support for any other reason . i just want to know that if there is any updates available from hp for my pc. if not then i don't have any problem if hp support assistant works or not.

This might require remote access of your computer to fix the issue.

I request you to talk to HP support.

They might have multiple options to help you with this.

Hi, I tried to Reply to the accepted solution but it is a bad link so I am replying here. I have the exact same issue. It shows that I have two hp products, but tries to make the one I use be NOT one of the two in my profile. I see that my computer needs 46 updates, many red tagged, but even though I am on that computer and signed in, the supporty assistant tells me I need to sign in on that computer... which is, um, the one I am on. I cannot update my system. Furthermore, when it searches for additional information on your product home page web site, I get 'There were no documents found for computer ".". Somehow it thinks that is my computer's name/type. 

This is all relevant to two AIOs, a 24-f0xx and a 21-h014.

PS to the above post -- when I do the routine suggested in the 'solution' on this thread, I am never given the option to fax anyone, or any option at all. I follow the steps but get "There are no support options available for you/ warranty expired" which I know is untrue bc I had SmartFriend for a few years (did not use it) and I know there are plenty of paid options. I can't even chat with a rep.
