@sapphire4227, welcome back to the forum.
If you have not done so, I suggest deleting the messages and updates. This will allow HPSA to retreive them again and possibly install them. I believe that I may have provided this information to you in a prior post, but here is a way to check to see if a patch that was released for it was installed:
You can determine if the aforementioned SysID patch has been applied to the system by making sure that productconfig.exe is => 8.3.2.1. The file can be found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\HP Support Framework\Resources\productconfig.exe

old_geekster . what a peculiar suggestion , as ALL Messages and Updates were removed when the HPSupportAssistant was uninstalled

Thank you for the additional information, @sapphire4227.
I guess I am just peculiar. I must have mis-read your post. Did you check to see if the patch that I mentioned in my post has been installed? The reason for the patch is why you are having the problem.

I have the same issue on both my HP Elitebook 8470p / Elitepad 1000 G2 since last week.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall but the problem remains.
The file ProductConfig.exe is at version 8.3.2.1
Maybe there is some problem with the HP Server.
