    Hi.

    Just receive my XPS 13 a few days ago.
    Doing some cleanup in the Task Manager.
    There is a program running DFFSvc.exe – Dell.DFS.Agent.WinService part of Dell Foundation services. Doing a Google search mentions it is developed by Dell and has some interactions with Dell updates. Appears to show a high memory allocation.

    Can anybody explain what it's used for and do I need It running?

    Thanks.
    TC.
