HP Support Assistant User Interface corrupted

[ThomasEv]

Since December 2021 my HP Support Assistant is not working properly.

• The User Interface of the main screen is broken. Probably a missing style sheet? 
• 
• Downloading and Re-installing HP Support Assistant does not fix this.
• There is no way to Uninstall HP Support Assistant as the application does not list in the control panel programs list either.
  
  

 Please provide a solution to completely uninstall and reinstall HP Support Assistant or a fix to this user interface issue.

First,

IF you are using the HPSA application to update your HP software and drivers,

Know that there have not been any updates for this model since 2020.

What does this mean?

You do not need (or really want) HPSA to constantly check for new updates - it won't work and it is largely a waste of resources.

You need only check once in a while a the Software and Drivers website support to see if anything changes (if any updates are ever added).

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

If the version of the HPSA you are running is 9.x, it is the application type.

Find the HP Support Assistant application in Settings > Apps > Apps and Features

If you choose to do so,

Uninstall the app > Restart the computer > "Get" a new copy of the app from the Microsoft Store

Will reinstalling fix the HPSA?

Likely not - but since the Automatic Updates check cannot find any updates, it might be that HPSA is already doing what it can do.

Optional >> Switch OFF "Software Updates Settings"

Example - HPSA Settings - Auto-Updates

HPSA_App_Settings_Auto-Updates_2
