I have had this laptop for around five years and two years ago the oveclock functionality stopped working. I have reinstalled every driver on the laptop many times over aswell as the alienware command center. I removed microsoft's core protection, hyerV and viral machine platform. I don't know why the overclock won't show up. Even installing older versions of alienware command center.5 and.6 hasn't fixed this issue. On my last alienware command center download i have an error message that says the OS or other app blocks the functionality( i can't link the image here for some reason).
The overclock options on the m15 R7 are usually controlled by Alienware Command Center (AWCC) Fusion profiles and, on some BIOS/firmware combos, hidden behind virtualization/Hyper‑V locks or missing/old AWCC versions. On this model you generally cannot overclock from BIOS; it’s all done in AWCC (or third‑party tools like ThrottleStop/MSI Afterburner).
Yes, my problem is AWCC not working, the overclock options are missing from the fusion tab. I mentionned hyper v and such because removing them is a common fix to this exact problem from iser users online. However, i still cannot use overclock from AWCC after trying to troubleshoot myself.
