Hi,
Hp Support assistant is stucked at infinite loop for driver updates.
There are two driver versions (10.0.320.170 sp84713) and (10.0.370.148 sp79524)
HP Support assistant shows the other version in available updates whenever either of them is installed.
Kindly advise on how to fix this issue. Which one them needs to be kept installed?

Scroll down, find, Uninstall the HP Support Assistant
After the uninstall is completed, Restart the computer and log in

Hi,
I do prefer HP Softpaq Download Manager and it has greater reliability and much imporved speed in terms of download and installation. However, recently I have started facing issues in it.
It takes lot of time to start and then shows error that its unable to reach the ftp server.
Someone in the forum did mention to append the shortcut URL with forceHTTP flag but it did not help.
I will try uninstalling SDM and reinstalling it. Unfortunately HSPA reinstallation did not help.
Kindly let me know if there's solution to SDM also.
