May be worth checking below thread : ( also verify is the config intact after upgrade or anything changed ?)

The ASDM was working for 1-2 years, I recently try to access and was not able to.

it looks like asdm was not working for the last 4-5 months.

I've checked the config and don't see anything missing.

thanks

How can I check if my version is affected on the bug search it states version affected: 

007.007(000.001)? 

My Device Manager Version 7.12(2)

thanks

           - Bug may then no longer be applicable to your case.

I forgot to share fix to the issue with stuck on software update completed

After upgrading to release 7.19.1 of Device Manager all ASAs that were stuck on software update completed as loading asdm component without issues. Thank you.
