Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Activate Google Assistant by clicking on the icon
2. Message from Chrome OS says Assistant is not on this machine due to missing features
3. I check the features that is suggested I need to have on the notebook, all is in order, but Assistant will not initiate.
4. Notebook is the Asus C302CA, and has all hardware capable to run the Assistant

What is the expected behavior?
Google Assistant should initiate and operate as normal

What went wrong?
Not sure, I am assuming something was not initialized at the time the notebook was set up to allow the Assistant to run 

Did this work before? N/A

The Google Assistant is by far better than Apples Siri or Microsoft's Cortana from other machines I've seen running the Assistant, so I need to have this program running to make it more enticing to switch from Windows to Chrome OS on a more full time basis
