Would someone from HP send me a link to download the most up to date HP support assistant?

 

I usaually get it here: 

 

https://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/hpsupportassistant/hpsupport.html

 

It seems the download link is broken on this page the past couple of days.

 

Thanks!

I tried this link--it started to download, then told me a newer version is on my computer so setup will stop.

 

How can I find the HP Support Assistant application so I can open it?
