Selecting Updates
On the Welcome screen, when you click Check, the checking for updates task is run and if updates are
available for the system, then the Selected Updates screen is displayed. The update summary is displayed
next to the heading in the format — update type <x of y, z MB>, where ‘x’ is the number of
updates to be downloaded, ‘y’ is the total number of updates available, and ‘z’ is the size of the available
updates, in MB. Based on importance, the updates are classified as follows:
• Critical Updates — These updates are important for improving the reliability and availability of the
system.
• Recommended Updates — These updates are recommended for installation on the system.
• Optional Updates — These updates are optional updates.
A warning is displayed if an update that you must install requires an interim version of the update. If there
are multiple intra-component dependencies for an update, Dell Command | Update installs the latest
possible version. However, this may not be the latest version. This task requires more than one update
cycle for installing the latest version of the update. For more information, see Dependency Installation.
A warning is displayed if some updates are blocked because the BitLocker is enabled on your system.
Click control panel and suspend the BitLocker to proceed with the installation. It is recommended to
resume the BitLocker after the updates are installed on your system.
A warning is displayed if some updates cannot be installed unless the power adapter is plugged into the
system.
