Alienware Command Center prompting Windows UAC
Alienware X51 R2, Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, newest Version of Alienware Command Center from Dell Homepage.
Command Center is set ot turn out the lights after 30 minutes inactivity. By reaching the time Windows UAC is prompting. What can I do to stop this, because lights never turn out?

Installed Version is 4.0.51.0...
Clean install of Windows Creator and ACC were made in April 2017.
Well, to tell you the truth ... if that was the only thing not working, I would just not use that feature. Let the lights go off with the machine or it's sleep.
You can try a clean-install of this version. It says it's for the x51-R3, but if it installs it should work because I don't think AlienFX is actually different between the 2 models.

I will try when I will come back from holidays end
of this month. But it is strange: for 4 month it is working very well and then suddenly it is broken. ..
I understand.
Clean-Install (complete uninstall, reboot, install new proper recommended version, reboot, test)
should fix that or at least, that is what I would try first to fix it.

Reportedly, that happens with old buggy versions. Try a clean-install of this AWCC version (v.4.0.51.0)
