XPS 8950, Killer Intelligence Center Application, "not compatible" according to Dell but on my PC
XPS 8950
Killer Intelligence Center Application is using half my memory whenever I look at Task Manager. (I am having an issue with Outlook not completely closing so I have been looking at it frequently). I searched Dell site and it says "This driver is not compatible. This driver is not applicable <Private data removed from public view. DELL-Admin> with Windows 11. You can search for a similar driver for this device or check to see if this driver is compatible with another device." But it came installed on the PC when I bought it. Do I need to uninstall it? I'm seeing other threads about updating BIOS so it won't reinstall but I'm trying to figure out why it was installed in the first place. I don't game or stream.
Thank you.

You don't really need it. That software is known to cause slow-downs of internet speeds, especially ethernet upload speeds.
So disable it on Startup tab in Task Manager. Then click Start>Run>services.msc and click OK. When services.msc opens, find all Killer services (and xTend services, if any). Double-click each one and set its Startup tab to disabled. Reboot when all are disabled...
