JUST INSTALL THE DRIVER IN STEP 7 AND THEN REBOOT. 7. Free alienfx download windows 10. Multimedia tools downloads - Alienware AlienFX by Dell and many more programs are available for instant and free download.

After I installed Win10, I noticed 2 items under device manager:
ACPIVEN_CPL&DEV_0002
ACPICPL0002
*CPL0002
And second:
ACPIVEN_SMO&DEV_8810
ACPISMO8810
*SMO8810
My google turned this up: https://community.dell.com/thread/9094
But the links were all dead , so I'm creating a dedicated thread here to point folks to the right direction:
For second error 8810, I think that's this: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/4/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=85JWM
^that resolved it for me.
As for the first one, I honestly had no idea which one resolved it. I clicked and installed Alienware On Screen Display 0.33.0.19 but it did not install properly in spite of the error going away.
I also upgraded the chipset using Intel's chipset update utility:

So I can't be sure which one resolved it. But the chipset one would def. help regardless.
