SupportAssist, update not installing

This did not work for me. The command executed and I restarted and tried to install SupportAssist again. It looked like it was installing, but then the window just closed. I have tried twice now. Anyone got another idea?

Thank you.

Thank you. Followed instructions and Support Assist seems to be working. Two driver updates have installed with no problems, so hopefully all is well, though I also have a screen issue but will do a separate post for that.

Many thanks for taking the time to offer solutions.
