.net framework error on each reboot linked to alienware command centre

Question

Hi, I am running Windows 10 and recently I have started getting a .net framework error every time i restart my Dell G15 5500 laptop.If i dismiss the error it then doesn't return until i boot again and alienware cc seems to run fine when i open it.I have reinstalled the software this did not fix it, i have also uninstalled alienware cc and after rebooting the error does go away. The error i get shows the following: &#xa0; When i click details i get the below message: See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this application or computer (machine.config) must have the jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section. The application must also be compiled with debugging enabled. For example: When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer rather than be handled by this dialog box. Has anyone got any ideas how i could fix this please, is this a known issue that will be fixed in a new alienware cc version?RegardsJames

That error indicates the Alienware Command Center software installed on your PC is throwing an exception on the .Net Framework

Uninstall Alienware Command Center, then restart (not shut down) your PC and check if that error popup has gone.

Then, if you want to continue using that software, download the latest version that Dell provide on the support page for your PC on their website.
