HPSA recommends install OMEN Command Center, what is it?

HP Support Assistant recommends I install OMEN Command Center.  I don’t have an OMEN computer and don’t know what this is.  It is for “overclocking” and “network boosters”.  I think it has to do with gaming. 

HP Support Assistant is also offering a Realtek Bluetooth Audio Driver that is an optional download.  This one is different from the one it previously offered three times and took back and said it was cancelled three times. 

Anyone think I need these things or know why HPSA thinks I do?  Hate to download stuff I don’t know what it is for.

I do not understand your reply.  I already have the latest HPSA v 9.6.598.0.   My question was not about HPSA.  

My question was about updates being offered by HPSA.  Particularly what is “Omen Command Center”?  I am not a “gamer” and I do not have a gamer computer.

I don’t know why I would want to install this.  It is recommended, not optional.  Do I need it?

No, you don't need the Omen Command Center. Could you please send us a picture of the update? 

It could be a glitch, re-installing the HPSA should help.

The HPSA I am using is a fresh install done 6/10/2020.

This is the wired network controller I think:

    Realtek Gaming GbE Family Controller

    I see it does have "gaming" in its name.

There is another recommended now for my WIFI: 

    Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Adapter

Ignore the Omen Command Center and install the Bluetooth and LAN driver.

OK.  Thank you.  Both installed.
