Dell Command Update not working at all since approx 4 April 2021
Hardware is XPS 13 9370 (irrelevant, since there are hundreds of reports of this in the Inspiron forum). All the latest Win 10 Pro updates as of today (12 April 2021) are installed.
DCU v4.1.0 just reports an error "Unable to retrieve inventory information" whenever I go check for updates.
No, it's nothing wrong with my system - either Dell or Microsoft (or both) have up big-time.
Re-installing DCU 4.1.0 makes no difference at all.
Can someone from Dell please read this and sort out this problem? Quickly?
This sort of stuff-up is why I do all my serious work on macOS (no, it's not perfect, but at least it doesn't break stuff every week).

A quick update. Dell walked me through some tests; I understand the issue is now with their L3 team.
I checked with a colleague with an Inspiron - same issue. Please note that at the same time as the DCU issue, I started to get an error message regarding my (previously fine) Wacom tablet driver. I therefore suspect one of the recent Windows updates.
In Windows Update sinds then d'r is a driver update: LEN International (Europe) GmbH - Monitor -3/8/2016 12:00:00 AM - 1.0.0.0
Is the DCU failure coincidence or is it interrelated? And i not prefer to install this driver since i not have any problem and second screen working fine.
I installed all of Tuesday's MS patches and updates. Upon reboot Dell DCU 4.2.0 auto-updated to version 4.2.1, which appears to check the system without error.
Can I suggest a manual installation of DCU 4.2.1 from the Dell site?
