    Are you sure you want it to be running? There are a large number of posts throughout the Internet about dcfwinservice using high disk and CPU usage. 

    I am not a Dell employee...I am forum volunteer

    Serious work on an E5430 and constantly building and working on an i5-6500 Desktop

    Clean Boot the System

    If you add Dell Foundation Services to your system's startup items, it may show up in your task manager and consume the CPU. Therefore, a clean boot of the system may solve the problem.

    Here are the detailed steps:

    Step 1: Type system configuration in the Windows Search box in the taskbar, and select the best-matched result.

    Step 2: Switch to the Services tab, select the Hide all Microsoft Services box, and click the Disable all button.

     

     

     

    Step 3: Now, go to the Startup tab, then click Open Task Manager.

     

     

     

    Step 4: In the Task Manager panel, find the DCFWinService or any other Dell-related service from the list.

    Step 5: Right click on the service and select the Disable option.

    Step 6: When you disable all the startup of unnecessary applications, close the Task Manager window, and then click on Apply > OK.

    Step 7: Restart your PC and check if the high CPU usage by DCFWinService is normalized.
