Dell Command Update - Notifications
I am requesting to add a feature to have the notifications for installing drivers to be a dialog box instead of a toast notification. Users do not pay attention to toast notifications and especially not the notification/action center in windows. This would make driver updates a more reliable and positive experience for admins and users as too often they are away from their computer when it initially pops up the toast notifications and then they are angry when the device starts updating drivers and reboots them without any other prompts.

I normally get a notification box that looks like this when there are updates ready to be installed:
Granted, it is somewhat small and does appear on the lower right hand corner of my screen. However, this box is separate from the notification center and does not go away (at least for me) until I action it. DCU is also configurable on how you want to push updates.
You may want to use the option to only download updates rather than download and install. This way users are able to install updates whenever they are ready to do so to prevent interruptions. Turning off that auto reboot function may also be needed.
