What Dell Software Can I Remove?

I just got my Dell XPS 9520. As with any computer I get, I remove some of the pre-installed software that I do not want like McAfee anti-anything software.

Here is a list of potential software to remove:

  • Dell Customer Connect
  • Dell Digital Delivery
  • Dell PremierColor
  • Dell SupportAssist
  • Dell SupportAssist OS Recovery Plugin for Dell Update
  • Dell SupportAssist Remediation
  • Dell Update
  • Dell Update for Windows 10
  • Dolby Access
  • Dolby Vision Extensions
  • My Dell
  • SupportAssist

Any comments whether these are important at all?

I want to keep software that handles automatically updating Dell drivers so, I'm thinking of keeping "Dell Update".

I've already uninstalled "Dell Digital Delivery" as I have not purchased software from Dell.

It looks like the Dolby stuff is just an ad for a subscription, is that right?

"Dell Customer" connect seems to be a program for a Dell technician to connect to my computer. I don't think that I need that.

Thanks all for your help and insights.

Mike
