Windows 10: Dell Windows 10 20H2 laptop with high resource usage [Device Association Services] in...

Hi, my Dell Windows 10 20H2 laptop has a problem with the device association service. Intermittently, resource use goes up to 90% sometimes. I use an iPhone XR with the laptop and e.g. a Logitech keyboard and Logitech MX Master mouse, all via Bluetooth. Regardless of whether all three are being used or not at any given time, resource usage is erratic. I have come across this being reported before without any proper solution. A good example of this, where it is described as harking back to Windows 8 is here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/device-association-ser

High CPU usage

Hi Tusar,

The Task manager shows high CPU usage for core Windows process which can be used by other application. In order find out which applications might be using more resources through these services, I would suggest you to open 'Resource monitor' and check. In
task manager, go to the 'Performance' tab and click on the option 'Open Resource monitor' option at the bottom. Click on the CPU tab and then select the processes which showed high CPU usage in task manager. No expand the 'Services', associated handles section
and post us a screenshot so that we can check the details and help you accordingly.

In the meantime, I would also suggest you to boot the PC in safe mode and check if the issue persists. Refer to this article:
