Latest drivers for Dell desktops
I have installed the Dell Command Update and Dell Support Assist software's but none of this software's are able to find and download and install the latest Intel drivers.
Then I had to install another driver updater software's to find the latest drivers for my Computer. Software's like Driver Genius, Driver Easy, Driver Booster, Auslogics Driver Updater, DriverMax, DUMo etc. and then I had to scan my Computer for malware and viruses with software like Malwarebytes, Loaris Trojan Remover is very good, McAfee, Norton, Trojan Killer to free my Computer from the malware and viruses that come from some driver updater software.
Dell Command Update and Dell Support Assist can find for example the Intel(R) 100 Series/C230 Series Chipset Family LPC Controller (Q170) - A146 driver only the year 2018 version and thus there is one newer, year 2019 that one another driver updater software finds it. It is the same also for many drivers.
Only with Dell Command Update and Dell Support Assist I would have not been able to install all these new drivers; look at the picture attachments.
And DUMo still says that there are newer drivers available, even that I after formatted my Computer, I installed more than 10 driver updater software's to update my drivers to the latest versions and then uninstalled them and scanned my Computer for malwares and viruses with different antivirus software's. Look at the attached pictures.
But, be careful if you install different driver updater software's you must scan your Computer for viruses with Loaris Trojan Remover and Malwarebytes also, because some antivirus software's cannot detect the malware and virus files that come with different driver updater software's.
Can Dell work in the software's Dell Command Update and Dell Support Assist that after updating drivers with this software's, another driver updater software's say: You have the latest drivers.
All the best

Really? And what are sometimes some drivers that are with orange warning sign?
Drivers that are not installed, I mean drivers that do not come with the operating system?
I think you do not know a thing about drivers.
The Dell software is very useful and the most needed are Dell Command Update and Dell Support Assist.
Get informed or leave!

I disagree. I do not think you need ANY of that 3rd party software. It just slows the operating system down.
All you need is the built-in Windows Defender. As far as drivers, that is subjective based on the users skill. I do not use the Dell apps for drivers. I simply go to the specific Desktop drivers page and check the release dates of the drivers. I only install a newer driver to correct an existing issue. I never install driver "just because" it is newer.
