What software will detect drivers and notify to install new updates?

What software will detect drivers and notify to install new ones? I did a clean install so I loss the stock Alienware ability to update drivers. Please help thanks.

 

DriverEasy, but it's better to do it yourself IMO. But other than DriverEasy, I don't know of any other program that does that. I wouldn't recommend using a program like this though. Just get Geforce Experience for the gpu driver, and use intel's update applet and find the updates for the other stuff manually.

 

You can download and install Alien Autopsy again.

Alien Autopsy | Dell US

 

I've been working on this for two days since I got my 14. The Dell Download page says there are 17 updates, most dated in early July. My build date is July 24th. I assume most of these have been installed but not sure. Dell has a program called Dell Detect System that you download, just google it because I couldn't find it on the site. Or, go to the download page, pick an update and select download manager not download from browser. Now, here is the cavet. It will say it is going to download analyse software first but the three times I tried it failed. After researching I've learned that it is buggy but if you keep working on it you may succeed. All autopsy did for me was update autopsy then send me to the driver download page. It never did check for anything unless I missed something. I did a check and it passed but it doesn't state if any drivers are outdated.

 

These were all built with from an image that pre-dated some of the updates found on the Dell download site. Command Center is one example.

I always get most of my drivers directly from the OEM that makes the part. nVIDIA, Realtek, Synaptics, Intel, Killer, etc.

 

Good point. The only one I wouldn't do is nvidia. People have had problems with them. Dell only backs the one on their site and I a don't want to screw with the graphics driver.

 

The last two nVIDIA betas have been fine. I've been running 326.41 since Thursday with no issues. The 66C limit is back to being changeable using nvidiaInspector. So far I haven't been able to get GPU temps beyond that though..

 

Thanks slickie. I'll update to the 326.41. When I first got my R1 2 yrs. ago I had a terrible time updating from the Geforce site, It would always say hardware not supported so I just stayed with the drivers on the dell site and never had problems.

 

i've a new aw14 coming soon and wonder what was your reason for the clean install. is there a ton of bloatware?

 

I installed a Samsung 840 pro ssd

I would recommend you to do those on your own.
