Windows 10: Dells Support Assist?

This display is now on the bottom of my Dell Desk Top. If I click on it a box comes up. I "X" it out and it comes back. I notice also that my screen no longer turns off if not in use after 15 minutes. It stays on all the time. What is this???

Dell Support Assist not wanted but needed?

I do some user support on the Dell forums. Support Assist isn't needed. You can manually access the Dell downloads, specific to your PC, by using your Service Tag. This will list all downloads based on the configuration as shipped. BIOS updates are critical to only do them manually, IF NEEDED, as we have seen Support Assist BIOS corruptions (not all but some).

Its up to you with McAfee, that was one of the first things I uninstalled on my Inspiron 15 5577 model. I don't use that bloatware and use the built in Windows Defender and Malwarebytes.

Support Assist Dell

I showed you how to reinstall Dell Support Assist in my first post.

You can also install Dell Updater if your Dell supports it. Check here:

To troubleshoot the Bluescreen error, download, install and run BluescreenView from NirSoft here:

Report back the reported cause for further steps to fix it.

 

Dell Support Assist

Hi John,

Unfortunatly as this is a Microsoft support system we would not be able to help you further, I would suggest that you contact Dell support as the issue appears to be with their App.
