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.
