Any of the Dell service programs are usually safe to remove and you'll probably find things run smoother without them. If you use the My Alienware app then you may need to keep Dell Fusion. Personally, I'd remove any of the extra Dell programs but that's your call. As for the *wonderful* Support Assist, go through your list of Programs in 'Uninstall a Program' and find anything that mentions it. There are usually 3 programs to remove before it's completely removed.

They integrated the power manager in My Dell

Also i am running windows 11 on Dell Vostro 3590 Hi matejmajny: Good news.  I manually installed Fusion Service v2.0.58.0 on my Inspiron 5584 / Win 10 Pro machine and My Dell is working normally again.  If I click 'About' at the bottom of the My Dell interface (see the image below) it correctly detects that I have My Dell v2.0.30.0 (i.e., the same version reported at Settings | Apps | Apps and Features). If you want to try a manual update yourself go to the support page for your Vostro 3590, download the latest Fusion Service v2.0.58 installer (Fusion-Service_M93KW_WIN_2.0.58.0_A00.EXE) and save the file to your Windows desktop.  Then right-click the .EXE file, choose 'Run as Administrator', and follow the remaining prompts to install the update.  It might not appear that anything is happening for a minute or so but you should eventually see the pop-up shown below confirming that the installer ran to completion. -----------64-bit Win 10 Pro v21H2 build 19044.1645 * Firefox v99.0.1 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.2203.5-1.1.19100.5 * Malwarebytes Premium v4.5.7.186-1.0.1645 * Dell SupportAssist v3.10.4.18 * Dell Update for Windows 10 Universal v4.5.0 * * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.6635Dell Inspiron 15 5584, Intel i5-8265U CPU, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB Toshiba KBG40ZNS256G NVMe SSD, Intel UHD Graphics 620

Thanks alot. It works for me

Right. Each program/app has a purpose in life. However, I too traditionally tend to like 'lean installs'. AFAIK, none of that Dell software is required for Windows-10/11 to run properly on a Dell laptop. I haven't looked at it real close since I was trying to run it as Dell shipped it. I kinda wanted to see what that experience is like for the average user. I don't worry so much about pre-installed programs that keep to themselves (the ones that have no associated Processes and Services that are constantly running in the background).  What I like to do is observe what Processes and Services are running, before properly uninstalling it's associated program the conventional way (and rebooting). Also, interesting to see what is still left behind. Actually, it doesn't seem too bad so far. I think it might be because these recent 11th-12th Gen Intel processors are just so powerful (plenty of cores and extra processing cycles to go around). Right. I always uninstall the (paid subscription) McAfee and replace with (Microsoft developed and freely included) Windows Security and their (software based) Firewall. It also seems less intrusive. MyDell already wanted to update itself, and said something about Dell Fusion. Not sure about now or on plain Dells, but Alienware Fusion used to be a Service that exposed various Windows Settings into a centralized app (like Alienware Command Center). It sometimes got confused or caused strange system problems so I always thought it was un-necessary (or not worth the trouble).  I don't use any of the 'Driver Updater programs'. Now-days, I get my drivers from Microsoft (Windows Update) and/or Nvidia/AMD. Rarely do I need a Dell validated file. I do get my occasional firmware and BIOS updates directly from Dell Support file-area and like to install those manually and in a more-controlled way. In the BIOS, I also keep UEFI Firmware Capsule Updates DISABLED (in case Windows-Updates tries to toss me one). As I glance-down that nice list you compiled, I think these 3 listed below are the only ones I might be compelled to keep. But if they don't do anything (or just ads or apps for subscriptions and/or In-App-Purchases) I think they ultimately need to be uninstalled as well.  Dell PremierColorDolby AccessDolby Vision Extensions Some people just 'clean install' generic/genuine Windows to get rid of all the Dell (or other manufacture's) un-wanted software ... but that is a quite a bit more involved procedure (especially on a live machine). Please post any additional info you come across (that you think might be helpful to others) as you uninstall the un-wanted ones (or find actual purpose for others).

Hello LindaHackett1, welcome to the Microsoft community, I'll be happy to help you today;

Are you using Dell supportassist to update drivers?

Initially I recommend that you look for updates on Windows Update;

Press Windows key + i and go to Update and Security;

Click Check for updates and do all pending updates;

Check under Optional Updates too;

After that try to make the update available again;

Hope it helps, see you soon!

Everything will be fine without these, but AFAIK the fan control setting is saved in the BIOS, not controlled actively by any app, so nothing will change after uninstalling My Dell. Did you try the quiet profile?
