Important Information
- Dell Update Windows Universal Application requires Microsoft .NET 8 or later to be installed on the system.
- Dell Update Windows Universal Application takes no more than 40 seconds to be installed on your system. You can install the updates in the background while using the system
Known Issues:
- If Dell Client Device Manager (DCDM) 1.0 is present on the system and Dell Update (DU) 5.5 is manually installed, the DellClientManagement Service may become corrupted, causing it to stop and be disabled.
- Application notifications may fail to function properly. It is recommended to uninstall both DCDM 1.0 and DU 5.5, then reinstall DU 5.5 to restore full functionality.
- On a fresh installation, the ConsentOverride registry key is not created by default, which may prevent telemetry events from being triggered.
- If any product coexists with Dell Core Services (DCS) and DCS is uninstalled, all associated agents may transition to an Unknown State. DCS is a critical component, and its removal disrupts agent status.
- If .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0.8 or higher is not installed, users will receive an error popup indicating the missing runtime, and the installation will be aborted.
- During silent installation, the absence of the required .NET runtime will be logged in the installation log, and the installation will be terminated.
- For Dell TechHub (DTH) v1.5.26.6, the following requirements apply:
- Intel systems: .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0.8 or higher (x64)
- ARM systems: .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0.8 or higher (both arm64 and x64)
- For Dell Tech Management (DTM) functionality:
- Intel systems: .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0.8 or higher (x64)
- ARM systems: .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0.8 or higher (both arm64 and x64)
- Installation should proceed only if these conditions are met. Otherwise, a popup should notify the user, and the installation should be halted.
