Alienware Update/ Dell Update/dell Command Update (AU/DU/DCU) is Unable to Check for Updates

This failure happens due to an internal component inside DCU having an issue in scanning the computer.
This is a pre-requisite step for the scan operation and hence failing to show the updates. A sample screenshot of Dell Update(DU) with this failure is shown below(See Figure. 1). The same error would be seen on Alienware Update(AU) and Dell Command Update(DCU) as well.
