Try running the application in compatibility mode and see if that helps.

My R10 is having the same issue where CC keeps complaining that it cant set the right OC profile (though the ram profile takes according to the bios) and it can't read the temp of the processer.

Everytime you update oc control you need to uninstall oc first then install the newest update.

Windows 11 never had anything made for it such as the command center. Its not going to work as 11 just came out. I would recommend you using speedfan to control fan speeds and monitor temperatures. OC can be done in the BIOS if your processor is unlocked.

I came to a dell forum for a dell product for a dell solution.

Is Command Center just out of date and time to drop? Has anyone had any issues with msi afterburner on windows 11?

Just to mention again and by multiple people who used MSI afterburner on windows 11, It doesen't work very well and may crash when installed.

Hi @doremo  please use Revo Uninstaller Free to uninstall OC Controls & AWCC applications and its advanced scan to remove any remaining multiple files, folders, and/or Registry entries that were not fully removed from your Windows 11 system. Restart (not Shut Down) so that changes are saved to the OS. 

Support for Alienware x17 R1, Drivers & Downloads now has Windows 11 update <ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell> AWCCv5.4.7.0 and OC Controls v1.3.54.1380 <ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell> that should reinstate all the functions that were available on Windows 10. 

Alienware x15/x17 R1 System BIOS v1.5.0 supports Windows 11.

Screenshot 2022-02-25 093523.pngHi everyone, 

I currently have an Alienware x17 R1 , an open case with dell to resolve issues with AWCC that stopped working properly since windows 11,

Problem is the (fusion) overclocking features and CPU data visuals not functioning

I have been asked to take usual steps and informed that a previous version of AWCC would remedy the problem which it did ! but as soon I start the laptop up it reverts to latest AWCC revision and breaks again. 

 

reverting to previous versions involves FULL removal of folders / components / reg entries etc 

 

Dells next support action was to instruct me to backup data + reinstall windows, said it would take (me) about a day. 

 

anyone else having issues with AWCC ? ? ?

Yup, exact same problem on my m17 R3 as well as others with m15 and m51 systems that have upgraded the OC controls to the latest version 1.3.60.1380.  Guessing that's your version now.  Like you when I reverted to ver 1.3.54.1380 all was fine again but like you CC auto updates to the broken OC version again now.  A lot of people waiting for a fix .

PS, I'm not going to jump through all kinds of hoops like reinstalling Windows etc. for Dells broken software update.
