I own an R13 which replaced an R7 and gave up on the Alienware Updater a long time ago, as well as the slow your PC down with our Support Assistant. As you say it misses drivers and has also in the past wanted me to install drivers for things i don't have in my PC. The date shown on the website for drivers is the the date it was published there and not the date of the actual driver itself. For BIOS updates if your happy with the BIOS you have got, there is no need to update. BIOS updates are generally security updates for PC's running on a network and not stand alone PC's.
Alienware Aurora R13, Windows 11. I installed 3 updates. Two of them are still showing up as installed. Of these two, the only one that is actually bothering me is the BIOS update due to the fact that BIOS updates involves chip flashing and I would like to do that as little as possible. It is for BIOS version 1.13.0, and according to the link, released June 13, 2023. I installed this BIOS, and then when I checked to see if there were any more updates, the BIOS update is still there. I then checked the System Information in Windows, and it shows the BIOS version as 1.13.0, but the date is April 12, 2023, instead of the one listed as the release date on the update page. I didn't receive any errors or anything, so I don't know why this would be the case. (Except that this is Dell we're talking about.) Advice?
Aurora R13, AU doesn't detect already installed updates
