Support Assist not opening

I cannot open Support Assist any more on Corporate Devices

I get this message:

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\DellInc.DellSupportAssistforPCs_3.5.13.0_x64 etc etc etc

Windows cannot access the specified device path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item

uninstalling and re-installing makes no difference.

Hi @IS Support 

Can you please check which version of SupportAssist installed on your system, that you can check under control panel.

It is 

3.5.0.448

@IS Support 

This looks like a permission issue on WindowsApps folder.

Restore WindowsApps permissions with the following command, using an elevated command prompt:

icacls "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" /reset /t /c /q

This will reset the permissions for WindowsApps folder. Post this try launching the SupportAssist
