Dell Command | Update

What Dell Command | Update is

Dell Command | Update is a free Windows application for managing BIOS, firmware, driver, and application updates on Dell commercial client computers. It can install drivers after the operating system and network drivers are installed, using the computer identity to determine what is needed. Its interface helps users identify and apply updates, and administrators can schedule them. A command-line interface supports automated driver installations and updates.

Administrators can configure download and storage locations, filters, schedules, an internet proxy, settings import or export, and the driver library location. The user guide also lists Advanced Driver Restore for Windows reinstallation. Version 5.1 and later supports Intel and ARM CPU architectures, with separate releases for Intel or AMD computers and ARM computers. Dell lists Windows 10 and Windows 11 support; the UWP version supports Windows 10 build 14393 or later and Windows 11. Installing version 5.7.2 requires .NET Desktop Runtime 10.0 version 10.0.8 or later. Dell warns that manually installing DCU 5.7.2 while Dell Client Device Manager 1.1 is present may corrupt the DellClientManagement Service, causing it to stop and be disabled.
