Dell.CoreServices.Client
My system has crashed several times and apps are closing on me do to lack of memory. I pulled up task manager and Dell.CoreServices.Client is utilizing more than 50% of my memory as well as close to 40% of my processor. I have had to shut down several times but will not stop dominating the usage of my system. It is now affecting my work as I can not run teams without it shutting down on me or causing issues with my calls.

I had this problem, too.
For me it was solved "accidentally" after all suggestions by DELL did not work.
I updated the service program "Dell Command | Update".
With version 5.5.0 installed everything is running smoothly again.

Hi everyone,
We’ve been experiencing similar issues with Dell Core Services crashing randomly and causing performance drops, especially on systems running alongside SupportAssist. On some endpoints, we also saw repeated “stale object” warnings in the TechDirect portal, which disrupted device monitoring.
Here’s what worked for us:
Clean reinstall – We fully uninstalled Dell Core Services, rebooted the system, and then installed the latest version. That stabilized many devices.
Version compatibility – Make sure both SupportAssist and Dell Core Services are running compatible versions. A mismatch can break communication between them.
Service repair – In a few cases, we had to manually reset the DellCoreServicesCore service using
sc configandsc startcommands to restore proper function.Log review – Check the Event Viewer under “Application and Services Logs → Dell Core Services” for errors. That helped us pinpoint the cause in several deployments.
After these steps, our systems have stayed stable. If your environment has strict antivirus or endpoint policies, it might also help to double-check service permissions or exclusions.
Happy to share more details if anyone wants script examples or further help.
