Hi Mukta Kinger:

What is your Windows operating system, and did you recently receive an update to the latest SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools v5.5.7.18773 (listed as Dell SupportAssist Remediation at Control Panel | Programs | Programs and Features)? If so you might need a system restart to get the Dell SupportAssist Remediation service running again.***

If a system restart doesn't help then check your Windows Services (Start | Windows Administrative Tools | Services) and make sure the Dell SupportAssist Remediation service has a Status of "Running". I no longer have the Dell SupportAssist v3.x or the Dell SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools v5.5.x installed on my Inspiron 5584 but here's an old image I captured back in Feb 2023 showing this service running on my system.

Note that a few users have reported problems installing the current SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools v5.5.7.18773 - see splitt's 11-Jul-2023 thread Inspiron 3020, SA OS Recovery Tools Install Fails.

*** If you haven't already done so I would also recommend you disable Fast Startup as instructed in Option # 1 in Brinks' Brink's TenForums tutorial How to Turn On or Off Fast Startup in Windows 10 (see <here> for Windows 11 instructions) and restart your system a few times. The Fast Startup power option (also known as hybrid boot-up / hybrid shutdown) is enabled by default in Win 10 and Win 11 but it can interfere with the loading of services and drivers of third-party software at boot-up and cause unexpected problems, and Microsoft has acknowledged that Fast Startup can even interfere with Windows Update - see the MS support article Updates May Not Be Installed With Fast Startup in Windows 10.

Hi Imarcri

I tried to update the Dell SupportAssist Remediation service using dell update. 

Unfortunately, that did not work.

Instead, I tried  the solution from splitt's 11-Jul-2023 thread Inspiron 3020, SA OS Recovery Tools Install Fails.

In https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cVIuJAUCNU, I downloaded the tool and then restarted the system.

Now everything is working.
