March 26, 2021 -
I feel really dumb, but I got a new laptop and keep getting windows notifications about updates to my alienware mouse and "OCCcontrols needs to download additional components" among other things, and it tells me to go to the command center to update, then I go to the command center and can't find anywhere to update drivers or anything like that. Where do I go to update this stuff?

r/Alienware on Reddit: Problem with the last update of Alienware Command Center (19 May 2022)
June 6, 2022 -
Hey guys,
I got an Alien Area 51m and the last update of the Alienware Command Center doesn't install on my laptop. I'm on Win 11 Pro 64.Everything is up-to-date and run properly.I check all the software and hardware, no problem at all.
I try to install it in safe mod, same problem.
I try to remove completely with a proper uninstalling the current Alienware Command Center, then downloading and installing the new one, same problem.
I try to clean my registry and remove useless files, same problem.
I spent hours on it and I think my computer is not the problem, the package software provided by Dell may be corrupted in some way.
Any tips or tricks please ? Thank you :)

No, same problem here. I have already tried the method from AutoMod but no avail. The only solution now is install the older version and wait for Dell to release a new version.

Fix: Alienware Command Center not Working
March 9, 2023 - Keep in mind there can be two programs with the same name as Command Center, one for peripherals, and the other for controlling lights, so make sure you are using the right application. Also, delete any themes from the AlienFX or similar locations until the issue is resolved. Moreover, try to right-click in the spinning circle of the Command Center as some users were able to solve the issue this way. Last but not least, update your Windows & system drivers, especially the touchpad driver and Alienware gaming peripheral driver, to the latest build after completely draining the power of your system.

I did fix mine.. revert to the older version of the AWCC. Uninstall the latest version using Revo Uninstaller.. It will be fixed. also note that if your using a Internet Security provider sometimes it affects also when installing the OC controls so you can pause it for a while fixing the AWCC.. that's it..
