In their own words
AOC G-Menu
AOC G-Menu is a free Windows portal for customizing supported AOC gaming monitors and peripherals, including keyboards, mice, mouse mats and headsets. Its settings include keyboard macros and mouse sensitivity adjustments. Light FX lets users choose effects, colors, pulsation and brightness for compatible devices, while Light FX Sync coordinates RGB effects across them.
Users can save multiple game profiles and switch between them, or associate a profile with an executable so its application runs when that profile is selected. Discover lets users find and share game profiles. The Macro interface supports recording, editing, importing and exporting macros. G-Menu checks for software updates from its home page and downloads available updates in the background; it cannot check without a network connection. The interface offers only connected devices. The manual lists Windows 7 or above, 500 MB of free hard disk space and an internet connection as requirements. AOC provides a Windows download and a manual.
Dell Command | Update
Dell Command | Update is a free standalone utility for Dell commercial client computers. It simplifies BIOS, firmware, driver, and application updates, identifying required packages from the computer identity. After the operating system and network drivers are installed, it can install additional drivers. Its interface identifies, applies, and schedules updates, while a command-line interface supports automated installations. Administrators can set download and storage locations, filters, schedules, internet proxy settings, import or export settings, and driver-library locations. Advanced Driver Restore is listed for Windows reinstallation. Version 5.1 and later supports Intel and ARM architectures, with separate releases for Intel or AMD computers and ARM computers. Dell lists Windows 10 and Windows 11 support, including UWP support for Windows 10 build 14393 or later. Version 5.7.2 requires .NET Desktop Runtime 10.0 version 10.0.8 or later. Dell warns of a service-corruption issue when that version is manually installed alongside Dell Client Device Manager 1.1.
