One of the installed files is .SelfUpdate.dll is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered. It installs a lot of files and runs in the background with a delayed startup. Ir runs in the background with a delayed startup.

The future intent is to centralize features from other Dell applications providing a more seamless, easy user experience." All I know is that it runs in the background, and other users have uninstalled it without any consequences.ĭell Digital Delivery Service (DELIVERYSERVICE.exe)ĭell Digital Delivery is a service which enables you to purchase software at the time you order your computer and then download and install it automatically once you receive the computer and connect to the internet. Usually you have to use directions from the technician, to set up the connection.Īccording to Dell, DFS is "an application we started installing in the factory to provide specific services facilitating customer serviceability, messaging and support functions.

But as the other poster mentioned, one man's bloatware is another man's treasure.Ī friend says a good measure is to wait a month and whatever begins nagging you to pay for it (meaning it's trial ware) gets uninstalled unless he's willing to buy it, and anything he hasn't used by then even if free gets uninstalled if most cases too.

If I remember I will come back and make a better list once I get my fathers desktop next Tuesday (or so).įor me personally though, I honestly tend to reinstall the OS and the Dell drivers and not have any of their pre-installed software. I also tend to get answers to my questions here on the forums, so I remove anything related to Dell service (I forget what they call it, but some utility that allows you to more easily connect with Dell if you are having a problem).

I tend to update the system myself on my own and prefer not having the process running. I personally also remove any of the Dell utilities, though for my father I will likely leave the system update utility to update drivers. In my previous experience though, I tended to consider anything that is trial-ware as something I would remove there could be exceptions to that I suppose, but of course that would mean I would be willing to buy the software at the end of the trial and I've never had that happen. I would have to check out Cyberlink Media Suite Essentials to see what my dad thinks of it (the computer is for him), in the past I removed it I believe, because I didn't find myself using it.though it may have changed.some of the features were upgrades and I never used the free ones. From the packing list of my order I have already guessed that I would definitely remove the Office trial, McAffee AV. I'm not entirely sure what comes on a 2016 Dell, I will early next week when the one I just ordered arrives. Now I see I misunderstood your question, at least by a bit.
