Synaptics Secure Pad Integrated Fingerprint Sensor Driver update failed

[Steve_P3]

Hi, HP Support Assistant advises that the above driver is available to update. When I attempt update I'm continually advised that it's failed although it doesn't advise why. Any recommendations please?

Hi Dilip_18, the solution you suggested has merely provided a path to obtain the latest version of the HP Support Assistant software, which I think was the version I already had.  Anyway, I still uninstalled and re-installed as you suggested. The problem I report above still remains however. When I tried to install the latest fingerprint sensor driver it, again, failed. The update is still showing as 'available' in my HP Support Assistant main page.

Any further suggestions?

Tks
