I tried the download link on the page, downloads.dell.com/.../Alienware%20X51-A06.exe but I just get "file not found".
Like once before with the Command Centre, they place the new version on the support page before the file is ready.

There is no changelog internally either.

the file downloaded fine for me but I will wait for the changelog before I even think about installing since right now I have no problems with my X51

Worked for me, try clearing your browser's cache, or maybe use IE?

It should address anyone having issues with their X51 not fully shutting down (lights stay on) or not going into sleep mode properly.

Thanks, clearing the cache worked after a few attempts. Strange as this was a different PC.
I've updated.

I'll tell you one thing this changes - the default GPU on boot. It annoyingly changed it to the discrete nVidia card instead of my default which is the integrated Intel. Was wondering why when I temporarily changed my AV amp setting I still couldn't see the BIOS setup screen and why the right-click menu "Choose GPU" for applications had disappeared.
Had to dig out a DVI to VGA cable so I could set it back
