Web cam & HP Support assistant have both stopped working

[bobandgail]

1. I have lost proper operation of Hp Support Assistant. It will not download and gives no error messages. I have re-installed and followed all recommendation and still nothing.

2. The HP supplied camera software & hardware supplied by Intel has all the sudden stopped operations. It was during a standard monthly update for Windows 10 is when I noticed the problem. I typically have very rare occations using it. I did test it early on & it was working fine.

@bobandgail, welcome to the forum.

I suggest that you uninstall and reinstall HP Support Assistant using the latest version found here.  There have been problems with HPSA.  There has bee a patch released that should fix the problem.  Here is how to tell if it has been 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".

As for the webcam, the problem may be solved once you install the latest version of HPSA, but if not, you should right click on the camera in the Device Manager and select Update Driver Software and follow the instructions.

Please click the Thumbs up + button if I have helped you and click Accept as Solution if your problem is solved.

Followed what you explained and the ProductConfig.exe dated 10/12/2016 under properties says that Product Version is 8.3.2.1. I started as soon as I had the issue by downloading the newest version available at HP's site. That didn't work it malfunctioned right after I did that. Thanks for your help anyother ideas? Thanks

So I tried again and here is also the reference from about this addition of HP Support Assistant. When replacing the old one there was some questions about holding some of the data. I installed holding some of the data then tried it no luck. So did it again this time telling it not to retain the old data try the program no luck once again. Here I am getting deeper hoping for assistance beyond the easy recommendations. Here is the .jpeg

All fixed up, had to work with Live Support and they had to delete all over the system HP Support and that Web Cam. Then make a new users account & forced Intel to update the camera from the Intel site. Then Regi worked with a new user and then delete the new user log in with my normal account administrator and the web can & HP Support system worked as advertised. Regi worked hard about 4-5 hours to fix the issue at this writing it is working correctly. This was a very good job and Regi did everything perfect he check & rechecked to assure that the system web cam & HP Support systems were worked. Can't say enough about the HP person named REGI & Kodos to HP support. This kind of effort is why I will be recommending HP as my technology provider.

I am glad that you had a good experience with HP Support, @bobandgail.  They always try to solve the difficult problems.
