@WexyMaxy Welcome to HP Community!
I understand that you are unable to update the drivers through HP support assistance.
Please uninstall HP Support Assistant, and then install the latest version from the HP Support Assistant website:
-
Uninstall the HP Support Assistant using the following steps:
-
In Windows, search for and open change or remove a program.
-
On the Programs and Features window, select HP Support Assistant, then click the Uninstall button.
Figure : Uninstall HP Support Assistant
note:
If HP Support Assistant is not listed or does not uninstall correctly, install the latest HP Support Assistant version without uninstalling the old version. After HP Support Assistant is installed and working, repeat the uninstall steps.
-
Click Yes on the Programs and Features screen to confirm you want to uninstall HP Support Assistant.
Figure : Uninstall confirmation
-
Restart the computer to complete the process.
-
-
When the uninstall process is complete, open a web browser, and go to the HP Support Assistant website.
Follow these steps to download HP Support Assistant:

Click Download HP Support Assistant.

Cannot update HP Support Assistant or download and install updates through HP Support Assistant
If you are having problems updating HP Support Assistant or downloading and installing updates through HP Support Assistant, download and install the latest version of HP Support Assistant from the HP Support Assistant website.
If problems persist, make sure your Internet access is working correctly (that is, you can browse the Internet and view Web pages), and the installed security software (firewall) is not blocking the updates to HP Support Assistant.
