Solved Please help me fully erase the "Dell SupportAssist" app from my computer.


Update: I found out how to search for the "%AppData%\PCDr" folder (need to use "Win + R" and enter %AppData%), and there was no "PCDr" folder there.

I've left the "SARemdiation" folders and Registry alone, as though they seem to pertain to the "Dell SupportAssist" app, none of the instructions said to target these particular items.

To be clear, you do mean to execute two different Registry searches using the Farbar app, one for "DDDriver" and one for "dddriver64Dcsa", don't you? not just one single search, entering "DDDriver dddriver64Dcsa" as one long string into the search-field?

======================================

I entered the code you gave into Command Prompt while running it as Administrator, it had "C:\Windows\System32" as its default file-path. It returned the message:

"The operation completed successfully."

Now, doing a Registry search for "DDDriver" in the Farbar app returns this information:

Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (x64) Version: 23.03.2024 01

================== Search Registry: "DDDriver" ===========

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ASR]
"OfflineDriverInjectionExtension"="drvstore.dll,DriverStoreOfflineAddDriverPackageW"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ASR]
"OfflineDriverInjectionExtension"="drvstore.dll,DriverStoreOfflineAddDriverPackageW"

====== End of Search ======


And searching in the same way for "dddriver64Dcsa" returns this:

The search term I gave you would have searched for both at the same time, that's what the semi-colon is for. It seems that those drivers aren't installed on your system either.
