    If Dell Docking Solution option is selected, then:
    • The updates for the Dell Docking Solution cannot be cleared from Customize Selection screen.
    • The Automatically restart the system (when required) option is selected and cannot be cleared.
    • The system may restart multiple times and continue the installation.
