Dell Registration

I registered my Dell desktop when I first set it up. It came with the
Dell Help & Support, and Support Assist programs.
Both programs seem a little buggy.
While in Dell Help & Support, if I click on the link that is supposed
to take me to the Dell Community, I end up at
https://www.dell.com/community/delle...default.aspx/?
appIndex=dellspct
which tells me Page not found, check your spelling, etc...
While in Support Assist, if I click on Drivers and Downloads, there's
the list of Notifications. "Register Now" has been there since I set
up the machine in December 2017. If I click on it, I'm taken to a
page that tells me I have to agree tp Support Assist's terms and
conditions, first. I never did this, but my machine is registered on
the Dell site, under My Product List.
I suppose the Support Assist is a different type of registration?
Registration needed in order to let Dell remotely assist, and watch
your machine in order to make 'improvements'. I don't mind the
remotely assist, as I used it before on a Dell laptop, but I would
worry about 'improvements' done without my approval.
No biggee here. As usual, more curious than concerned.
