    DCFWinService taking up large cpu space


    DCFWinService was taking up around 30% of my CPU Intel Core i3 8130U and this started happening ever since I downloaded Windows 10 October 2020 20h2. I would try end the task but after a while it would just pop back up. I also tried upgrading to the newer build 19042.906 20h2 but I'm still getting the problem.

    :)

    Windows explorer takes up most of CPU

    Hi,

    Stored files and data may have caused the Windows Explorer to take up most spaces on your CPU. To correct this, we suggest that you follow these methods:

    Method 1: Disk cleanup in Windows 10.

    Method 2: Managing the Task Manager.

    • Open the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
    • Terminate explorer.exe.
    • Start a new explorer.exe.

    Let us know if any of these methods worked.
