Dell Data Vault Data Collection Service Running amok
I just upgraded my Win10 X51 to the new creator version and now Dell Data Vault Data Collection Service has been running at 25+% for several hours. How do I make this service stop overconsuming processor time?
Thanks.

Can you Private Message me your Service Tag (do not post it in the thread), I would like to look into this. If it's easier you can just let me know what model system and OS in the thread Vs the PM and I will see what I can find for you.
Hi Brad - I'm having the same problem. Just restarted my computer to install the new Windows version and now Dell Data Vault Collector is consuming 60-80% of my CPU capacity.
I can't tell which version of Dell Data Vault Collector I am running because it doesn't show up in my list of programs, but I run Dell Updater v. 1.9 and according to its latest scan on 9 August 2017, I am up to date on all Dell software. However, Dell Help and Support fails to initiate, so I can't report my problem with Data Vault Collector from my computer itself.
Please let me know what fix we should take to address this urgent problem.
Confirming that I'm having the same problem. Post installing the new windows version (Creator Edition), Dell Data Vault Collector was consuming all spare CPU capacity, causing the system to slow.
System model: XPS 13 9343
Processor: i5-5200U
OS Name: Windows 10 Pro
Version: 1703
OS build: 15063.502
System type: x64
Dell Data Vault does not show up in my list of installed programs, nor in the Startup area of task manager.
I was having the same problem on one computer in my office which ran the Windows upgrade this week. In Task Manage I selected each process that had Dell Data Vault in its' name then pressed End Task. After restarting my computer the CPU Usage fro those processes was back to 0%. Since only one computer had the problem I don't know if it worked or was just a coincidence.

Thank you for your message.
What is the version of Dell Data vault installed on your computer?
If you do not wish to use this application, you can disable the startup & services.
Just uninstalling the application may not help as the Dell update service may reinstall the software again.
Right click on the time – click on task manager- click on startup tab – highlight the application you want to disable from startup & click on disable.
