I uninstalled Hp Support Assistant from my PC and downloaded the latest version of the Hp support Assistant from the Hp site.
When I run the file, it says, a new version of the Hp support assistant is downloaded and setup will close now.
But I can't see the Hp support assistant App that I uninstalled previously, and no Hp support assistant icon appears after restarting my pc.
How to fix this and get Hp support assistant app back on my pc?
Solved! Go to Solution.
