ProductConfig has stopped working

[Rob1231]

I installed two items from HP's support website for my computer:

1st was HPSupport assistant,

2nd was an update to my Intel 4600 graphic card driver.

After restarting the computer I receive an error message that Productconfig has stopped working: This happens every time I restart the computer.

Microsoft says this program belongs to HP.

Is there any solution to resolve this issue?

Hi @Rob1231,

Thank you for showing your interest in HP Support Forums. It is a great place to find the help you need, from other users, HP experts, and other support personnel. For you to have the best experience on the HP forum, you could also visit our HP Forums Guide for the First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.

As I understand you are getting an error message on your screen on every restart of your PC. Don't worry we'll work together to find a solution for you,

To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:

What is the product number of this computer? (Ensure you do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc...) http://hp.care/2bygf7l

What is the Operating System installed on the PC?

Have you made any software or hardware changes on the PC before the issue started?

When was the last time it worked (date)?

In the meantime, let's try these steps here:

Perform a Hard reset on the PC with all the cables disconnected.

Since the issue started after installing HPSA and graphics card drivers, you could try to perform a System restore to a previous date where it was all working fine, using this link.

If the issue persists, I would suggest you try to perform a driver rollback in Device manager, please follow this link.

Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello Jeet Singh,

Thank you for your reply.

I found the problem. It is with the HP Support Assistant that I just installed. Every time I run it, the error message comes up. At no other time does this happen. I will uninstall and try reinstalling to see if this helps. Also regarding this program, I found that it no longer shows driver updates that are available for my computer (this also occured with the older version of HP Support Assistant). When I go to HP's driver website and enter my serial number, I found the driver for my Intel graphics card had a newer version and the BIOS had a new version issued in March 2017. No driver update showed when using either version of the HP Support Assistant.

Question: When the computer's warranty expires does this stop the HP Support Assistant from working?

Thank you again for your help

Rob

Hello Jeet,

It has been about three weeks since I uninstalled the HP Support Assistant and since then I haven't received any more Product config error messages so the problem was with the Support Assistant.  The HP Support Assistant  made installing the drivers a bit easier, so as time allows I will install it again and see if the error messages comes back.
