On the laptop, when I open the program, it shows that my other computer needs 13 updates, and lists them, each having an exclamation point next to it. Some are red, some are yellow, and some are blue. But when I open that same program on my PC, it shows no updates are needed.
How do I get the software on the laptop to update itself so that it shows that no updates are needed on my PC?
Thank you.
The short answer: The remote monitoring used by HP Support Assistant doesn't always work as expected.
Blaming the software aside, at this writing, do not depend on HP Support Assistant correctly reporting what the "other computer" needs.
Log into each computer on which the HPSA is installed to check for updates / status on that computer.
Addition:
Remove the "remote" / other computer from HPSA, restart the HPSA software, "Add Device" to re-add the computer.
This is temporary and does not resolve the inability of the HPSA to correctly monitor the remote / other device.

The HPSA is better with each new version - at some point this, too, will be fixed. It is also true that the software may work better for some than others. Not-so-much for everyone.
You are welcome.
Stay Safe.
