Last updated

Dell Optimizer installs under Program Files in a Dell folder. The do-cli.exe tool beside it reads and writes settings for batch scenarios. Output goes to stdout with return codes on stderr for scripts.

Prefer the CLI for repeatable changes across many machines. The GUI suits one-off tuning on a single laptop. Admin rights are required for most writes, and some features need a reboot before they apply.
