SupportAssist 3.13.2: Won't Run, Uninstall, or Reinstall
I've been trying for the last several days to run Dell SupportAssist (version 3.13.2.14) on my Windows 10 Vostro 15-7500 laptop. All I ever get is the message, "This is taking longer than expected. We recommend restarting your PC and trying again later." So far, this hasn't worked.
If I run the installation download file, SupportAssistLauncher.exe, I get the message that the latest version of SupportAssist is already installed. If I try to uninstall SupportAssist in the Control Panel, I get a Windows Installer error, "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'SupportAssistx64-3.13.2.14.msi' in the box below." The path to this file is:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp\SupportAssistAgent\cd4af687-1452-4994-be2d-6421b9b830db\
but that directory doesn't exist. The path:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp\SupportAssistAgent\77d42f07-0023-416a-9efa-f8258bc3b4ae\
does exist, but it doesn't contain the .msi file.
There is no option in Control Panel to do a repair installation of SupportAssistAgent, IMO a lapse on Dell's part.
How can I uninstall and reinstall SupportAssistAgent, so I have a working program.
Thank you.
Terry

Hi Terry
I had a similar problem trying to uninstall / reinstall SupportAssistAgent.
I have a Dell Inspiron Laptop which I updated to Windows 11 by installing Windows Upgrade to 11...
Meanwhile lets get back to sorting your problem out Terry
( goto youtube Terry type in youtube search below these exact words below without BRACKETS )
( Dell Support Assist Issues Fixed Permanently || Universal Fix for all Dell Support Assist Issues )
Terry watch that Video on youtube do everything he shows you exactly and it will uninstall SupportAssist
Caution Terry before you do anything BOOKMARK THAT VIDEO AND SAVE BOOKMARK as thats what I did
So I could do everything exactly as he shows in that video and I was able to
Uninstall / Reinstall SupportAssist...
REMEMBER BOOKMARK / SAVE THAT YOUTUBE PAGE BEFOR YOU DO ANYTHING TERRY !!!
