Windows 10 Microsoft Store Popup DCU.Centennial

I have a new Windows 10 machine at work.
The machine is a brand new Dell Latitude 7490 with Windows 10 installed.
About twice a day I get a popup asking me to go to the Microsoft Store and find the application that will open the file “DCU.Centennial”.

The pop-up says “You will need a new app to open this DCU.Centennial” and suggest going to the Microsoft Store to find the app.

Unfortunately, I cannot get a screenshot of the popup because as soon as I click anywhere on the desktop, the pop-up goes away.

Would this have anything to do with the Dell Command Update process?

The tech team at work says they have seen this on other machines.
Does anyone know what this is and why it is happening and what should be done about it?

Someone suggested that I install the latest update of the Dell Command Update driver from this link

https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=y2kwd

I downloaded and installed the update yesterday and so far I have not seen any popups. That's no guarantee that the problem is fixed because I didn't see the popups on any frequency, but it's a good start.

I will keep you posted.

SAD NEWS, the popup happened again today despite installing the update.

Does anyone have any suggestions? 

Does anyone know why this is happening, what process is trying to run, what these files "centennial.dcu" are about.

Hi,

I got this message on computers that I manage.

It appears cause with the last version of Windows 10 (1809), you selected on the board "desinstall this program" on the "DELL Command" icon.

To solve this, go to the control pannel (not the new parameter pannel -this stupid pannel designed for dummies-, the old one from windows 7, / program and features.
Find the program called "DELL Command | Update for Windows 10" and desinstall it.
Then, reboot your computer.

After All, if you want to keep this application, you can reinstall it by downloading it from Dell Support portal.

Hi I found this in a search I know its an old thread but Dell Command Update 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 both do this, also they do not launch if the program is installed and then the system is sysprepped (so you cannot image machines with it installed).  For some reason sysprep removes the start menu entry for it, though somewhere in the system there is still a service running, though no where to go into it and actually execute the program and do updates.

 

I found that out of the box remove the Dell Command Update for Windows 10 program and then install the last known good working version, which is Dell Command Update version 2.4.0.  In the download site it usually states Dell Command Update with Command Line Support and in the description it works with all Operating systems since Windows 7 (not just Windows 10 like the 3.0 series).

To me dell made quite a doozy with this app and though you think the latest is the best, its certainly not.  Dell **bleep** up and it shows because months later there still isn't a fix for this.  Stay on version 2.4.0 because it works, and never look back!

Alas, this update would not allow me to install it after it located an incompatible version that needs to be uninstalled.  But, of course, no information regarding "what" that version might be, where it was located on the system, nor how to uninstall it.

Although I have a JPG file of the popup that I captured, this message board makes it nearly impossible to add a photo to this post.
