Thanks for showing your interest in the HP Forums! 

I’d like to help!

As I understand you are unable to install the updates via the HP Support Assistant application,

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 

Did you know that HPSA redirects application updates based on model-series and is not specific to your computer?

(Basically, the application gets updates based on the entire series, is not specific to your serial number, hence there are certain updates that can be skipped)

Although, if your applications aren't working and the updates are necessary, make sure you download the latest version available for HPSA from the Official HPSA website.

If yes, please follow the below steps to ensure the options are not set to Never :

1. Open HP Support Assistant and click the Settings button.
2. On the Health Analysis tab, select "Every day or week" from the Frequency drop-down list, and then click Save.
3. Click the Tune up tab, select the "your preference" from the Frequency drop-down list, and then click Save.
4. Restart the computer and try again.

Do get back to me as I have a few more tricks up my sleeve, 

That said, If I have helped you resolve the issue, 

feel free to give me a virtual high-five by clicking the 'Thumbs Up' icon 

followed by clicking on 'Accepted as Solution' 

And Have a great day Ahead!

Hello, Riddle_Decipher,

As you suggested, I downloaded and installed the latest version of the HPSA (ver.8.5.37.19) from the link you provided and that did the trick! The update (it was just one update) TFS - Windows 10 RE Recovery Manager Installer - TDC was downloaded and installed correctly.

About the options you mentioned, I'm not sure how they are called in Dutch and where to find them.  When I click the settings button, I only have a option for "Next updates and messages are planned for"  and then I can selected a day of the week (and a time), but not the option "Every day of the week".  And I can't find the equivalent of the Tune up tab. Also I get an error message when I click the link after "for more details"

I did not know that HPSA redirects application updates based on model-series and not specific to my computer. I would like to see that updates were specific for my pc, although until now I have never come across a update that was skipped for that reason.

Thank you for your reply and your help!

With regards,

Mardoek53.

When doing an upate a msg box appears wanting to know if the update competed successfully, or failed, or I don't know. There's no way to see the status so you don't know how long to wait, and after waiting 15 minutes or so I click "I don't know," and then "Next" and the update gets canceled. This is ridiculous.
