Tech News Dell support assist takes all memory and slows machine

Dell SupportAssist Agent is taking 10+ GB of RAM​

recently I've came across an interesting malfunctions of SupportAssist Agent where the agent is taking up 10+ GB of RAM and slows down the whole machine. This malfunction occured on numerous devices My solution was to end the agent through task manager and uninstall the whole SupportAssist. Dell knows about this and has done nothing.

How lovely of them.. Thanks Dell!

But in my case, I strip all of my Dell units clean of their boll*cks.

This is handy to know for client machines though...

Cheers IBM650!!
