Command Center AlienFX issue on G15 5511
I received my Dell G15 5511 today and when I open the AWCC, it show up "No Supported AlienFX devices was detected." and my Home and FX tab was missing. I never used this before. This is brand new pc!!!

I just wanted to post that I have solved my issue with the AWCC finally. There was an error in Event Viewer but it came up at the time Windows would boot, not within the time range of booting the program. The error was clearly caused by Microsoft somehow but I just now solved it tonight finally thanks to another random post from a Dell user on these forums who posted it was their solution as well. The issue was that Windows Update did not pick up the Visual C++ Runtime updates so I had to download them from the Microsoft site. As soon as they were installed the program instantly started up, downloaded the other bits and pieces and worked like a charm. I now have my temperature view and fan control available to me finally. I do however get the error now that the original poster listed about "no supported AlienFX devices found...", but the program is working now so that's all I care about at the moment.
For anybody else stuck on a similar issue as mine based on the screenshot I showed above the info I provided then you might look into the Visual C++ Runtime files and see if that helps you out as well.

We are following up to check the status of system functionality if you got a chance to reinstall the operating system.

Sricharan21,
Did you update the BIOS and then the Chipset drivers from the support website? Let us know.
1. Open a web browser and go here
2. Enter your system Service Tag and click “Search”
3. On the resulting page, click the “Drivers and Downloads” tab.
4. In the “Find drivers” drop-down menu, choose BIOS under “Operating System”
5. Click on the most recent version of the BIOS and then download it.
6. Once downloaded, double-click the file icon on the lower left of the screen.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
8. Once it is done, the system will restart for the BIOS installation to complete and install.Jesse L (retired)

For all non-technical issues that require your private data, we must communicate via a private Direct Message
Dell Partner GEM Program, Out of Warranty Support Options, BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certificate, Get a copy of your Dell invoiceThe problem I'm having is the same though an earlier model the DELL G15 5510. I just bought it last Thursday and it had UBUNTU OS.
After installing Windows 11 on it I downloaded all the required drivers from Dell Support including Alienware Command Center and OC service.
The laptop had a AlienFX keyboard module and I did every single troubleshooting solution I could think of from reinstalling the app to installing older versions.
The same problem occurs everytime "No Supported AlienFX devices are found"
I used to have an Alienware 15 R2 w/ GTX980m, even though it had zoned lighting. I liked it. And I bought this G15 knowingly it having individual RGB lighting on the keyboard. I'd hate to return the laptop and by another cuz I love Dell products for their reliability and battery life.

This is working as designed. If there are no AlienFX compatible EXTERNAL devices (AW320M, AW720M, AW920H, AW310K, AW410K, AW510K, AW310M, AW510M, AW610M, AW510H, AW588, AW568, AW768, AW988, AW958, AW959) connected to the PC, this message will pop up. Check the box that says, "Do not show this message again".
If you have one of those, you need to install the additional Alienware Gaming Peripheral driver.
