**Dell Command | Update** is a stand-alone [[Windows]] application, for commercial client computers, that provides updates for system software that is released by [[Dell]]. This application simplifies the BIOS, firmware, driver, and application update experience for Dell commercial client hardware.
The sentiment seems to be that the 32/64 bit app is preferred over the UWP application.

I am not sure how to run the driver restore from the CLI, however once this is enabled you can run the restore from the GUI.
