Inspiron G7, Mobile Connect and CPU

I'm, using a Inspiron G7 laptop with a 9th gen I7, at 2245 tonight and just surfing the news.  In the background, I hear the fans start, and think it must be another Windows update.  Got absorbed in a couple of news articles, then hear fans go even higher.   Nothing much running to do this, so I open task manager.  Sorted Task Manager by CPU and Dell Mobile Connect is using almost 40% of my CPU.  Task manager and browser are using about 2% CPU combined.  Checked to see what Mobile Connect is, since I never used it or opened it.  All this time Mobile Connect is doing something, but I don't know what.  Stopped the services for Mobile Connect.  Fans drop to normal almost immediately.  Samsung Magician shows my 1TB NVME is over heated at about 61C.  A few minutes later the temp on my SSD drops to 43C which I see as a normal range for my machine.  I've since uninstalled Mobile Connect and no more problems like this. ?   What was Mobile Connect doing for about 10 minutes?
