Critical updates7/6/2023 If I ever need to run a hardware scan I can still run Dell's F12 ePSA (enhanced Pre-boot System Assessment) hardware diagnostics from my BIOS, and my Windows 10 OS also has its own built-in hardware diagnostics at Settings | Update & Security | Troubleshoot | Additional Troubleshooters.Ħ4-bit Win 10 Pro v21H2 build 19044.2006 * Firefox v105.0.1 * Microsoft Defender v.7-0.3 * Malwarebytes Premium v4.5.14.210- * Macrium Reflect Free v * Dell SupportAssist v3.11.4.29 * Dell Update Windows Universal v4.6.0 * Inspiron 5583/5584 BIOS v1.20. As I noted in JohnnyRedShirt's thread, I personally don't like using SupportAssist and I just launch Dell Update once a week or so to check for available Dell software and driver updates for my Inspiron 5584. When it comes to checking for updates, the greatest difference between the two programs is that SupportAssist loads automatically at boot-up and runs constantly in the background, and if you use the default settings in SupportAssist and leave Option (gear icon) | Settings | Automate Scans and Optimizations | Scan Your System and Drivers ENABLED then SupportAssist will automatically check for available updates once a week.įurther to DELL-Jesse L's comments, see my 0 post in JohnnyRedShirt's SupportAssist Unable to Get Drivers / Missing Features After Re-installation about some important differences between Dell Update and SupportAssist.
