dfs.agent.winservice

Got back last Tuesday after a surgery with drawings that HAD to get out for permits.  My Precision 7810 was all but frozen.  Rebooted and same problem. Checked Task Mgr and CPU was 99% in use with an odd file dfs.agent.winservice eating 97%.  Fortunately I saw the name of file on Dell Community but solution was not clear.  Fortunately I got a Dell Tech on the phone and he walked me thru the entire process of disabling that file permanently with 'Service' function. If I had not checked Task Mgr and reached Dell Tech my office would have been shut down for the holiday and my project failed deadline.

I strongly suggest calling Dell if you have this issue.  It is DEVASTATING, but so far I have not seen how or why this could happen, just corruption with a Windows 10 update.
