Hi @edborek,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your PC!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Try these steps:
1. Check Compatibility:
Make sure that the version of HP Support Assistant you are trying to install is compatible with Windows 11.
2. Download Latest Version:
Ensure that you have downloaded the latest version of HP Support Assistant. You can find the latest version on the HP website: HP Support Assistant
3. Disable Antivirus/Firewall:
Sometimes, antivirus software or firewall settings can interfere with the extraction and installation of software. Try temporarily disabling them and attempt the installation again.
4. Run as Administrator:
Right-click on the downloaded file and select "Run as administrator" to ensure it has the necessary permissions to install.
5. Check for Corrupt Files:
The downloaded file might be corrupted. Try downloading the file again from the HP official website.
6. Update Windows:
Make sure your Windows 11 is up to date. Sometimes updates can fix underlying compatibility issues.
7. Free up Disk Space:
Ensure there is sufficient disk space available on your system to install HP Support Assistant.
8. Clear Temporary Files:
Clearing temporary files can resolve issues with file extraction. Use the Disk Cleanup utility in Windows to clear these files.
