DELL SupportAssist 'Recommended' update fails to install

DELL Inspiron 15-3576 laptop, running Windows 10 Home (64-bit) v20H2, Build 19042.928 with “Core i5-8250U” CPU and “Intel UHD Graphics 620” display adapter. Norton Security installed.

I have posted this in the DELL Community but wish to widen the net to get more responses: - https://www.dell.com/community/Inspi.../false#M117077

DELL SupportAssist updated itself from v3.8.1 to v3.9 and it then tried three times to install "Recommended" update "SupportAssist OS Recovery" but failed each time. The laptop is plugged in to the power supply as required. See photos.

Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a fix?

 

Windows Updates failed to instal

I just did step one and they have just all installed.... thank you so much.... it was quite frustrating having that update window pop up every 5 minutes and failing to instal every time

Thanks mate

 

DELL SupportAssist 'Recommended' update fails to install

@Compumind - Thanks and you are almost 100% correct.

It seems to have been DELL SupportAssist (DSA) v3.9 wrongly detecting that my machine needed the "SA OS Recovery" update. Explanation: -

1. I uninstalled DSA, but I then saw that "DSA OS Recovery Plugin" and "DSA Remediation" were also installed so I uninstalled those as well since I wanted to "Start with a clean sheet" regarding DSA.
2. I restarted the DELL then reinstalled DSA as suggested and it is now v3.9.
3. Running DSA scan this time did not find the "SA OS Recovery" update whereas previously it did. I decided to try again but restarted the DELL first and it still did not find the update. That's why I say you are "almost" 100% correct. *Smile

This is why I think the previous DSA was wrongly detecting the update as being compatible with my machine. I could be wrong and it may decide to find it tomorrow or the day after. Who knows?

For now it seems the uninstall and reinstall advice has worked so I am sorted.

Thanks again.
