apply these settings

Refreshing the real-time screens frequency settings are easier to tune

Dynamic Dashboard:

integrators to work much smoother and faster

much faster
Loading device lists for large scale systems became quicker
A confirming green colour feedback will appear, when a dashboard was successfully saved.

Realtime Device Manager:

an error message appeared immediately, as it was trying to install the driver instead of
downloading only.

screens.
When downloading specific drivers from the Component Store, sometimes not all quantities
got installed.
