r/Alienware on Reddit: Alienware update missing ?

January 21, 2020 -

Hey all, today I factory reset my m17 laptop, let my little sister play on it and there were some viruses detected unfortunately so I just factory reset the system, ran malwarebytes after the reset and it’s clean now. One thing I noticed was the alienware update application never got downloaded ? It’s just missing completely. Some people don’t like the program but it was super useful to me to keep everything updated. Why didn’t it automatically download ? Can I download it online ? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

r/Alienware on Reddit: Alienware Update Disappeared

November 22, 2023 -

I have a M17R5 and recently used the Alienware Update App for a system update. I don’t remember the specifics of the update. After restart, the Alienware Update App has disappeared.

I went to the Dell Website to try and reinstall, but when I try and get the driver, I get a message saying that the driver is not compatible with my system.

I tried to install an older version of the Alienware Update from and installer I still had on my computer. When I tried, I get the message, “A newer version of this software is already installed on your computer.” When I search, all I find is an folder with a txt doc installer log.

Can you guys help? Have you had this problem?

Thanks in advance!

r/Alienware on Reddit: Alienware Update and SupportAssist no longer working.

March 16, 2023 -

Alienware M15 R4 - Over the last few days, I’ve had issues with Alienware Update and Support Assist.

I am now getting this error with Alienware Update:

https://i.imgur.com/q1Q8Hs0.jpg

Basically, it will not perform a scan. The only changes I’ve done were the Windows 11 March update a few days back and the upgrade to the 1.16.2 BIOS update. I have tried reverting it back to the 1.15 BIOS, but it still does the same thing.

Also, SupportAssist no longer works. When I try to run any of the options (driver update, hardware check, clean files, etc), it kicks back an error basically saying it can’t continue because another process is running. This has been going on longer than the Alienware Update issue, which only seemed to start today.

I have also fully uninstalled both programs using Revo Uninstaller Pro AND even deleted all leftover files. I have since re-installed Alienware Update and it still does it. I have not yet re-installed Support Assist. Figured if the Alienware Update wasn’t fixed, then neither would Support Assist. 🤷‍♂️

Alienware Update runs on my R13 Desktop just fine. So I know it’s not a server issue or anything…both systems are on V 4.8.0.

Thanks in advance for any help on this!

So i was looking on the Alienware website for the AWCC application to reinstall, but all the folders and links to it have been taken down. Does anyone know where i can get it?

So i was looking on the Alienware website for the AWCC application to reinstall, but all the folders and links to it have been taken down. You're probably better off... I will reach out to the Alienware team and try to find out at least what version you should be looking for, and possibly why it's just gone from the Dell support site for your machine. Have you tried the one for the R8? https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-ca/product-support/product/alienware-aurora-r8-desktop/drivers

If vs 5 doesn't work then you may need the older version. https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-ca/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=0pwm6&oscode=wt64a&productcode=alienware-aurora-r6-desktop

r/Alienware on Reddit: My Alienware Won't Update

April 16, 2022 -

No thrilled with my Alienware that is only 3 months old. Got a blue screen of death and after going through first level support they promised to have 2nd level support call me back which they never did (that was over 3 weeks ago.) I ended up taking it to a local shop and it appeared to be a loose cord. It still occasionally boots up into bios with random errors, but then when I restart it come back up normally.

Anyway, now my latest issue is the "My Alienware" won't update. When I try to open it, it says "update available to continue using My Alienware, please update the application. It's worth it." So I click on update, click yes on the popup screen asking if it can makes chances to my computer and it says "installing", and then it goes back to the "update available" screen.

This is the 4th alienware computer I've bought. I've never had problems with them before. but this latest one is a lemon and their "helpdesk" service is useless.

Go to the drivers section for your Model on Dell support and you will see an update for the fusion service (2.0.58.0, A00). Download and install and the My Alienware app will work fine

Sorry for your troubles - I figured i would share I have a similar issue with command center this week where it is in a constant loop of trying to install and update and then install Fusion, then ask to install an update and then request to install fusion again. I plan to try to uninstall the app and reinstall it from scratch and hope that fixes the problem

Installed new version of Windows 10 and lost my AW Software | DELL Technologies

@Hoovnut wrote: Hello I just recently reinstalled a version of windows 10 on my alienware desktop without knowing that I needed to download a specific one for AW. Is there anyway I can get my alienware software such as AlienFX etc back on here? I tried downloading them and then installing however whenever I tried to create a new theme nothing would come up as if the desktop forgot it was alienware at some point. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you The version of Windows-10 64bit (that Dell ships pre-installed on Alienwares) is not special in any significant way. The Image File .ISO from microsoft.com works fine (as clean install). There is not an Alienware Image with pre-installed Dell Alienware drivers and apps on it. Even the posted Dell/Alienware Images ... they do not either. You get the special files from support.dell.com ... although, all you should really need is Alienware Command Center. Maybe a recent video driver from nvidia.com or amd.com . Everything else should likely come from Microsoft Update.

What version of windows did you install? It has to be the same as you had before--Home, Pro, etc. What model computer? Go to Dell Downloads and Drivers to check for the software.

Hi @Chaos Spyder from local admin account, please see if Revo Uninstaller Free can list the Alienware update software and use its advanced scan to completely remove everything.

Hi @Chaos Spyder please take and share photograph or record text within 'Restarting' screen. Was BIOS update applied over the internet? If system working, there is no requirement to update the BIOS unless it has a feature you want. Never apply BIOS update over the internet because PC might get bricked. Follow the official Dell/Alienware BIOS update process Update the BIOS on your Alienware PC - YouTube. Please press the power-on button and allow the Alienware Area-51m R2 to automatically shut down. Wait a few minutes, then press the power-on button, hopefully the update has failed and the normal boot process will get your Alienware Area-51m R2 working again. Please share an update. Thank you.
