At various points on the Dell Support website, you have the option to have your Dell product detected so that Dell can provide targeted support. This is the most common use of the Dell SupportAssist app.
When you take one of these actions, you will either be prompted to download and install Dell SupportAssist if it is not already installed or the application will automatically start and install the latest version before completing the action. There are three main actions that you can take on the Dell Support website that use the Dell SupportAssist application.
NOTE: Some firewall or antivirus software may block or limit the functionality of Dell System Detect without a notification.
