Looking for Dell Precision Optimizer v4.0 (or v5.0)
Where can I find Dell Precision Optimizer v4.0 in Dell's site for download? Available downloads seem to exhibit a gap between v2.6 and v6.4 — no v4.0 (or either v3.0 or v5.0) are available for download, despite the fact that their documentation is.
No Events found!

@Chino de Orom thank you for your response; however, I'm not looking for Dell Optimizer, but for its predecessor, the Dell Precision Optimizer.

It is the same as Dell Precision Optimizer with expansion to be compatible with other product lines. Click on the link I provided, scroll down to Additional details and expand Compatible Systems. You will find this application optimizes the performance of applications on various systems, including many newer models of Precision and other product lines. The older Optimizer application versions are Dell Optimizer version 3.
There was no system information provided, with no specific issue for inquiry. Main query of this post was simply asking for a version 4 Optimizer application for Precision workstation. Although it may not be what you are looking for, that's all I could offer to your post.

@Chino de Oro, thanks again for the response. I asked specifically for the Dell Precision Optimizer, because I want it for a Precision model that is not covered by the newer, Dell Optimizer.
Dell Precision Optimizer v4.0 is mentioned here: https://i.dell.com/sites/csdocuments/Shared-Content_data-Sheets_Documents/en/Dell-Precision-Optimizer-SpecSheet.pdf
Dell Precision Optimizer v5.0 is mentioned here: https://i.dell.com/sites/csdocuments/Shared-Content_data-Sheets_Documents/en/DPO_UG_5_en-us.pdf

There's Dell Precision Optimizer 6.6.6, wouldn't that work?

@BGDaemon, yes I know for 6.6.6 (and its earlier versions, 6.4.5 and 6.5.1), but it doesn't cover the model I'm interested in (i.e., M6800). The pre-v3.0 Dell Precision Optimizer (i.e., up to 2.6.0) covers M6800 but not Windows 10; this was supported in versions 3.0-4.0-5.0 but can't be found anywhere.

I see. Have you tried this link? WARNING! I don't know whether it's valid or not, so try it on a virtual machine first if possible or ignore it if you feel unsafe:
https://www.notebook-driver.com/dell-precision-m6800-laptop-driver-utility/
There's an option to choose W10 and then there's Precision Optimizer 4.0.04 A00 listed under Applications.

Thank you very much, @BGDaemon ! Yeah, I'm gonna take all necessary precautions before deploying.
P.S. Noticed the Dell P/N for DPO v4.0.4 is 5G0YJ, and this no longer exists anywhere in dell.com. And I noticed a VMH27 p/n for DPO v.4.0.12, but same story as well.
From another one of my Precision laptops, which was delivered with DPO v5.0 installed, I see a Y2DXT p/n for that version in its delivery sheet, but that version is also no longer available for download.

Here is VMH27 but Y2DXT is really hard to find.
