HP support assistant

HP support assistant worked fine and then stopped working. How to fix? Uninstall software?

HP support assistant is not listed in control panel under program uninstall.

HP suggests a remote desktop fix. Remote desktop control is not available except to buy Windows Pro

which is an expensive fix.

Any ideas?

Welcome to the HP Community.

HP Support Assistant is not related to your printer model.

The HPSA software / application is (can be) installed in your Windows computer.

HPSA can be used to monitor the device on which the application is installed.

HPSA can also add supported printers to its device list.

HP Support Assistant - software or application on your computer - is likely the "Application" type of the HPSA.

If it is installed, the application is located in Settings > Apps > Apps and Features

The application can be uninstalled from Apps and Features

Afterwards, Restart the computer and log in

Install a fresh copy of the application from the HPSA website

================================================================================

Uninstall HPSA Application >> Apps

FIRST > Uninstall the HP Support Assistant Application

Settings > Apps > Apps and Features 

Search or scroll down and find HP Support Assistant

Left-Click on the item (HP Support Assistant) > Uninstall

NEXT > OPTIONAL >> Uninstall HP Support Solutions Framework software from Programs and Features

     NOTE: 

     Search or scroll down and find HP Support Solutions / Framework

     If you find a listing for the Solutions software, then

     If you wish to do so, HP Support Solutions can be uninstalled, too.

     If removed, and wanted again later, HP Support Solutions can be reinstalled at Product Home

     Select to use “Auto-Detect” to install HP Support Solutions

Left-Click on the application (HP Support Assistant) > Uninstall

Restart the computer and log in.

================================================================================

Final Check – Software / Application is Removed

After the software is uninstalled (and the computer is Restarted), check to ensure the software is actually “gone”.

Settings > Apps > Apps & features

OR

Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features 

If the software / application is found > Click to uninstall 

Restart the computer and log in.

==========================================================
